LET ME GROSS YOU ECO-FRIENDLY PEOPLE OUT
January 8, 2010
A study tested random samples of reusable grocery bags and found that 64% were contaminated with “some level of bacteria,” 30% had “elevated bacterial counts” higher than what is considered safe for drinking water, 40% had yeast or mold, and some had “an unacceptable presence of coliforms.”
(Coliforms are a broad class of bacteria found in our environment, including the feces of man and other warm-blooded animals. Yum.)
More from the Times Colonist, a Canadian newspaper.
Great… tomorrow I’m buying reusable bags…. I’m grossed out now.
That means some people are just nasty and don’t believe in washing those bags. My reusable bags are washing every week.
