Patient information sheet for a clinical trial:

Infections d'origine alimentaire. Pendant au moins trois mois après chaque dose, il existe un risque accru de développer certaines infections généralement propagées par les aliments. Vous devrez éviter de consommer des produits alimentaires à haut risque incluant les aliments frais en salade prêts à consommer, les aliments crus, les aliments non pasteurisés, les aliments pas assez cuits et les aliments congelés ou réfrigérés de manière inadéquate.


Fresh ready-to-eat ... what? Not quite sure about the "en salade" bit.

fresh ready-to-eat salads
Explanation:
I think the point is that it excludes so-called salads that are really such un-salady fare as pasta with mayonnaise.

Wish I could split the points. Awarded based on peer agreement, but I do think "chilled" is a better solution for "frais".

chilled prepared salads


Explanation:
As with chilled dairy products ('produits laitiers frais'), they're talking about products sold from vendors' refrigerated cases -- the commercial meaning of 'frais'. And the dressing could well be with it, in a separate container.

You wouldn't want the patient thinking it would become safe after the freshness date is past.<g>
