Food shopping carts found to be germier than public toilets

Science - Health



According to the ABC News article, twenty supermarkets around the United States have taken a new and innovative way to counter these germs.

They have installed “… sanitizing devices for shopping carts. The machines look like mini car washes for carts and spray a misty peroxide solution over the entire cart after every use that is guaranteed to kill 99 percent of germs, including E. coli and salmonella.”

Check out a picture of one of these shopping cart purification devices, called the “Pure Cart System.”

Its website states that one million germs are on the handle of food shopping carts.

The Pure Cart System disinfects carts by spraying them with a fine mist of a peroxide solution.

Further information on these dirty grocery carts appears in The Wall Street Journal article “Taking the Gross Out of the Grocery Cart.”

Some reports conducted by television stations include:

KOCO-TV: (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma): "Millions Of Bacteria Found On Metro Shopping Carts"

KRON-TV (San Francisco, California): "Shopping Cart Shocker"
