It can but in practice it's probably going to not have a lot of benefit unless you carefully wash each berry (it can hide in crevices the water doesn't get to) or if you don't use soap (water by itself is not as effective)by vlovich123

Not necessarily. Although it'd be especially unwise to gamble one's life on known contaminated food that cannot be reasonably rendered safe by consumers. Soap and vinegar scrubbing ordinarily, but I can't find any specific procedure references on concentrations or time.. I wish there were standardized, exact procedures for every produce type backed by science.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7692465/
