    Small amounts of dirt are going to harbor bacteria, and a soak and rinse (and a light scrub, if it’s produce that can be scrubbed) will actually make a notable difference to the pathogen count. It’s not magic, but it’s good practice.

      I get it, and I wash my shit if only because of literal shit. But odds are if there is an outbreak, you’re getting sick. This is nitpicky as fuck.
