A Toronto study of 24 reusable cloth grocery bags found 64 percent contaminated with bacteria and 40 percent with yeast or mold, with some bags showing fecal bacteria. Critics say the small sample limits meaning, while advocates urge hygiene and continued use of reusable bags. The Interior Health Authority backs sensible hygiene and reusable containers, noting wash and dry thoroughly.
