Gov food recalls regularly reassure me about my self-imposed food buying rules.

I don't buy pre-made hamburger, no pre-sliced meats, nor shredded or pre-sliced cheeses; no pre-chopped vegetables, no pre-made salads.

It's all about minimizing surface area and contact/exposure in production. These things show up in contamination recalls again and again and again.

You forego a little convenience, but avoiding the listeria and E.coli vectors is worth the effort.
