Quoting Dale Shipp to Ruth Haffly <=-

The lettuce / may or may not have been treated with
preservatives that give Gail digestive problems. She has to be
very careful about salads out for that reason.

That's probably spray-on sulphites. Packaged foods like bacon have
to be labelled "contains sulfites" or "added sulphites". Both the
the FDA and CFIA have prohibited the use of sulfites to maintain the
color and crispness of vegetables in salad bars for some time now,
but apparently some other food services still use such sprays and
don't disclose.

I'd always ask and really come down hard on anyone who ever lied to
me.
