Tipsy Tuesday (#71)

Safety first...

Tip #71

Eco-friendly reusable bags are great for the earth but they could spell trouble for your health. Take precautions.

If a bag absorbs meat juices or touches contaminated produce, it could transfer pathogens to other items the next time it is used. To prevent cross-contamination, launder cloth bags between shopping trips. Wipe out plastic bags with a disinfectant wipe after use.

Cleaning our grocery bags is something most of us probably don't think about. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I saw this on t.v. I never knew to do this till now. I love my grocery tote bags.
