Arguably, there may be something to this in general, because grocery stores are gross, and people handle the product in unsanitary ways, so perhaps these are good precautions even in the best of times.
Even without microbial infections of grocery product, you do have to contend with pest insects such as roaches, weevils, and gnats infesting groceries. Quarantining them separately is a good way to carefully inspect to show that you're not bringing new pests into the home.
- nradov 3y agoYou've got to be kidding. That's just irrational germophobia. The microbes that might be carried on the surface of groceries are of zero risk to healthy people. You're exposed to a wide range of pathogens all the time without even noticing. In developed countries it's rare to find pests in store bought groceries, and even if you do so what? Eating a worm in your apple won't do you any harm. I would be more concerned about the pesticides than the pests.
