I always wash my fruit before I eat it when I buy it fresh. Recently I’ve been buying frozen bluberries and honestly I sort of like just eating them straight out of the bag (after letting them sit out for a little bit). But I’m wondering - should I be washing the berries before I eat them? If they were fresh I’d absolutely wash them but I’m unsure if this is necessary for frozen.
is norovirus that much bigger of a risk on frozen as it is on fresh. I can only find like one outbreak in the US in relatively recent years linked to frozen blueberries.
I’m in Finland, there’s been a few linked to foreign berries. All restaurants are advised to cook foreign berries before serving.
hmm ok. The berries say they’re grown in the US and Canada so idk I think I’m relatively safe
