Dietitians explain why you should not wash these five foods in your sink

Dietitians advise against washing certain foods in the sink, as it can spread bacteria and reduce nutritional value. Raw poultry, seafood, meat, shell eggs, pre-washed produce, mushrooms, and enriched rice are among the items that should not be washed under running water. Washing these items can contaminate surfaces, reduce nutrients, or negatively impact texture and taste.
