I think that if you don't want to wash your reusable bags, then you are very much free to refrain.
For the rest of us, there are reasons to consider doing so, as advised by the the New York State Department of Health above.
- littlestymaar 3y agoIn general, because they are so stringent, the advice from the department of health don't mean much and are only relevant if you either: - have a depressed immune system (including if you're old) - are a young child It's not something you need to follow blindly when you're healthy. Heck half of the food you can find in the finest restaurant in France is recommended against by US department of health, for instance: - raw milk cheese - raw eggs - “undercooked” meat Sure, washing your bags can't hurt, but that doesn't make a good argument in favor of plastic bags either, and made up “studies” from lobbyist won't make it so. (Department of health also recognizes plastic bags as a choking hazard for infants BTW!)
