Usually when wherever it is grown is down river from a poultry farm.

Because they're often eating it raw, uncooked, and poorly washed? It has a large moist surface area for the bacteria to grow on. Same deal with sprouts and such. Just because you sprinkled it with water doesn't mean it's clean. Would you eat a chicken breast raw after washing it?

Produce is one of the main causes of bacterial and parasitic food poisoning, especially because a lot of it is not cooked before eaten. Salmonella, B. cereus, cyclospora, listeria, etc. The list of crap you can find on produce is endless.

As a rule of thumb, the more folds or surface area it has (lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower) or the more humidity it has (sprouts, mushrooms), the more likely it is to grow bacteria that you can't see and can get food poisoning from. Just google "(vegetable) recall" and you'll usually find hundreds of results for every type of produce imaginable. These things are being grown on the ground and in close contact with dirt and animal fecal matter, which is where bacteria such as salmonella thrives.

Buy seasonal, local grown produce only. Soak it for 15 minutes in a bath of bicarbonate of soda and water. Rinsewell. Refrigerate. Then before using rinse it again.
