Here’s how to protect you from the bacteria that may get sent home with the groceries,

• Wipe up. Lots of retailers now place antibacterial wipes near shopping carts and produce departments for cart clean ups. If they don’t, put in a request or carry antibacterial hand sanitizer with you.
• Wash off. Always rinse fruits and vegetables under running tap water before you eat them that should put your E. coli worries to rest and offset the fact that veggies are squeezed almost as much as the charmin.
• Use food thermometer. You love the roasted chicken under the hot lights but it’s not at 140 degrees or hotter is could be germy. Warm it to a temperature of 165 degrees at home to kill bacteria. Cook ground meat to 160 degrees, roasts and steaks to 165 and fish to 145 degrees.
• Refrigerate fast. Get groceries to your fridge as soon as possible, definitely within an hour. If you have to run errands or face a long commute, carry an insulated bag or a cooler and buy ice to bed down the perishables.
