Fruits and vegetables seem to be more frequently linked with episodes of food borne illness. It is imperative that they be well washed prior to use, particularly when they are not going to be cooked.

As an example, melons need to be washed prior to cutting because bacteria on the outer rind will be pulled into the fruit as you slice.

Salad items are another prime example and crudite vegetables are, too.
