Travel and fresh produce: how do you triple wash?

@benedict66066 If you packed it yourself, after proper washing, that should be ok but still subject to maintaining proper refrigeration. I never buy pre-cut fruit or veggies from the produce section either. Here is a good review about those:

Also, here are a couple of additions to my list of foods during trips: cheese sticks, Babybel cheese and popcorn.

While we need to enjoy the life extension given to us through a transplant and not get too paranoid about bad stuff out there, we also are the stewards to a Gift that will not be gifted to us again. We need to take good care of the Gift by making some slight adjustments in our lives and develop good habits. Raw oysters and sushi will never cross my lips again but...how important is that, compared to a 27 yr life extension? Easy trade off. Congratulations on doing the research and asking the right questions!

@cromme50 This is very helpful! I appreciate the time you have spent in your answer. I was just in the kitchen and noticed my kitchen sponge in the sink. I wonder? Do I need to worry about pathogens in the sponge?
