Use Shopping Carts and Shopping Baskets Correctly

Oct. 20, 2020

If you want to buy vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, detergents and other essential things in life, just go to the supermarket and you can solve all the problems. But do you know? Supermarkets are actually a large source of bacteria, and you may bring invisible bacteria home without knowing it. The Grocery Cart Manufacturer teaches you how to avoid bacteria in supermarkets.

Properly use shopping baskets and metal shopping carts. Since the trolleys in most stores are used very frequently, they are rotated in the hands of customers all day long, and there is no time for cleaning and disinfection work. The data shows that the detection rate of mold on the bottom of supermarket shopping baskets can reach 69%, coliform bacteria is 51%, and the mold on the bottom of trolleys is 37%. In open shopping in supermarkets, once the hands of customers are contaminated by bacteria on the trolley, they may be transferred to food during the selection process. It is recommended that you bring a pack of disinfectant wipes when you go to the supermarket. Before using the shopping cart, you can wipe it with a wipe first. Do not let children sit in the trolley. Do not put cooked food on the bottom.

Buy raw meat and frozen food last. In general supermarkets, fresh food, meat, and daily necessities are strictly divided, allowing customers to buy frozen and fresh products later. But in life, many people don't pay attention to the order of shopping, first go to the meat section to buy something, and then buy other things. Due to the high temperature in the supermarket, as a result, fresh food will breed bacteria after thawing, and it will also contaminate shopping baskets and cause cross-infection.

Eat less cooked food that is free to try. Most cooked foods are placed outside without any cover. Customers can pick them up with their hands. People who process cooked foods don’t wear masks. These are unsafe factors for cooked foods. The Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an inspection on some supermarkets and found that among the 32 types of cooked food samples, the total number of bacterial colonies and coliforms in 21 samples exceeded the requirements of the national standard, and the unqualified rate was as high as 84%. It is recommended not to try the free cooked food, and the cooked food purchased should be cooked and sterilized before eating, and eat within 2 hours. Cooked food overnight or refrigerated must be heated before consumption to reach the food center to get the innermost items on the shelf. The survey found that the products on the outermost shelf are picked up most frequently, but not every customer can buy them. It is prone to all kinds of skin oils and bacteria. It is recommended to take the products on the innermost shelf.

Wash your hands immediately after returning home. Although the bacteria in the supermarket will not cause direct harm to the human body, if you eat with dirty hands full of bacteria, you are prone to infection, especially children. So wash your hands immediately after visiting the supermarket.
