Best practices for produce safety after a wildfire
When assessing the safety of exposed produce, the difficulty is knowing what has been burning. If it is just vegetation smoke then it’s probably safe to eat produce after rinsing off the ash, although it might still taste/smell smoky.

Exposure to fire retardant may have also occurred.
