Fermented vegetables enjoy a strong record of safety. Fermented vegetables are safe for human consumption as long as the microbial growth is controlled, and an appropriate pH level is maintained during storage. There are almost no outbreaks associated with them.

Fermenting vegetables with salt, also known as lacto-fermentation, is completely safe. There are no dangers associated with fermented vegetables. Lacto-fermentation is a simple way of preserving vegetables without the risk of poisoning. Due to their natural acidity, lacto-fermentations are safer than raw vegetables and less dangerous than canning. Fermented vegetables quickly reach a pH of less than 4.6, below which pathogenic bacteria cannot grow. Lacto-fermented vegetables can then be stored for several years without any problem. Fermenting vegetables has been shown to significantly reduce pathogenic bacteria found on vegetables. Unlike canning or oil marinades, there is no risk of botulism in fermented vegetables.
