No, strawberries and especially spinach are prone to field contamination due to their high water content and moisture uptake system. Hepatitis from field workers who shit in the irrigation ditches or e. coli from improperly composted manure readily enters their fruits and leaves.

Outbreaks have happened repeatedly from these two crops.
