And then was peanut butter, flour, and especially rasberry preserves, which top the chart of non-human contamination. I closed the Officer's Club at Fort Monroe, VA for hygiene and sanitation issues once, and it almost ended my military career before it ever really started.

We sometimes wash fresh items like lemons, oranges, tomatoes, peppers in a dilute bleach solution. Kills most stuff on the surface, including molds. Getting rid of the mold really extends shelf life.
All that said, years ago we were in a restaurant and my daughter asked for lemon for her water. The waiter, probably a high school kid, dutifully returned holding a fistful of lemon wedges that he then dropped on her bread plate! Suffice to say, we did not use that lemon.
But when my daughter confronted the kid, he just looked incredulous

OK. So we think about washing the stuff with skins we eat or that go into our beverages, but how about the transfer of contamination from an avocado's skin as we slice through it or a banana peel....eggs are really yukky - just barely hosed down before being packaged.

You lick the salt, suck the lemon and then drink the tequila, that kills all the germs that were on the lemon. Problem solved.
the green one.
you only suck the lemon when you run out of limes.
of course, by then you probably can't tell what color they are anyways...
and on the serious side:
sometimes I'm more worried about what they put on all those fruits and veggies to improve their shelf life than I am about a few germs I probably developed immunity to when I was a kid.
