I suspect greens are perhaps vaguely the same as hamburger. Processed
foods are worst,

Avoid convenience foods, buy a head of lettuce, peel off and throw away
the outer layer of leaves, rinse and dry before consumption. Buy whole
carrots, rinse before you peel. Etc.. Any food that is processed for
convenience are more prone to contamination.
