    I've never heard of safeguard fruit and veg, I know at work they use a bleach like solution to wash the fruit and veg I wouldn't be keen on eating after the bleach stuff.
    Would be interested to know if the safeguard is ok I wouldn't mind using it if it's all good, where do you get it from?

    I pick it up at a local fruit and vege shop - only place I've seen it but to be honest I haven't actively looked elsewhere for it because I know where to get it! I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the link but if you google the name their website should come up and it has quite a comprehensive list of stockists.

    I emailed them asking if it's safe to use and am waiting to hear back...

    My dumb question is -- where does listeria come from?
    Is it present in the air, and moist food allows it to multiply to levels that can affect humans? Is it something that's released as certain foods start to deteriorate?
    I have read so many lists of "foods to avoid" but none of the websites I visit explain what is, to me, the basic information.
    Does anyone know the answer?

    Thanks HB...and yes Goingtobebiginasia all good questions! I've done a bit of googling too but can't quite grasp what it is too...keen to hear if anyone knows.
    Or if someone can explain it in a way that my limited brain function can understand at the moment...lol
