Don’t you wash your fresh fruit and vegetables before cooking or eating them.? Do you really believe the food in the supermarket is clean, it has travelled from a farm , in trucks, stored in a warehouse, handled by any number of people? I’m sure when the food is growing it would have come in contact with many birds, insects and animals. It’s simple, just wash it.

Dear member Caron, thankyou for your post. I agree with you. However, these clean foods as I put it, have not been resting in a trolly where a dog's anus has been warmly sitting. If you had a choice to pick an apple that has been taken off the food shelf, or an apple that has been sitting where a dog's anus has been resting, I wonder which apple would you pick, even if both were washed for you. Better still, how about you tell your guests that the apple you served them, was sitting in the same spot that a dog's anus was sitting, and then tell them not to worry, because you washed the apple. Have a beautiful week.

That is why as well as sanitising my trolley I also wash all fresh food before eating it. The food before it gets to the supermarket goes through a number of processes. Farmers handle it, warehouse people handle it, it’s in fields with animals and pesticides, it can travel from other countries. So I really cannot see a problem with any animal in arms or in a trolley.

Yes dear member Caron, they go through bird poo, human handling and travelling from one cart to another, untill they get to the Supermarket. However, the Supermarket will not take fruit and vegetables that have bird poo on them. I don't know where you do your shopping, but our fruit and vegetables are washed clean before going on the shelves for sale. And even so, we always still give our fruit and vegetables a wash when we bring them home. But l don't think customers will purchase any fruit and vegetables that have been in contact with a dog's anus, no matter how much the product can be washed at home. Have a lovely evening.

Sorry, I don’t know what supermarket you buy from that washes fruit and vegetables, I have worked in fruit and veg departments of major supermarkets and my son still works at a supermarket. I checked with him and they do not wash fruit and vegetables , they are put straight on the shelves as they come from the warehouse . I don’t know if the grower washes , but not supermarkets.

So far I have never witnessed any animals in a Supermarket IF I did come across a Dog
In a Supermarket I would expect it to be a GUIDE Dog as they are an exception ..

I see any animal in a supermarket… I’m abandoning my trolley and out of there.

Aww there are lots of dead ones...

Pets should not be placed in the shopping trolley. If you can not leave your pet at home or car, then pay someone to look after your pet, while you do your shopping. People sometimes place apples and other fruit and vegetables in the trolley, without plastic bagging them, and if a dog's back side has been sitting warmly in the trolley, that apple and those other fruit and veggitables are going to have doggy back side residue on them. This is not a zoo or a wildife sanctuary or a vetenary clinic, this is a food store, that sells clean food, which has not been in contact with an animal of any kind. The staff should also be trained, to tell customers, that they can not have their pet sitting in the trolley. If a pet has been found to have sat in a trolly, that trolley should be removed from the store for thorough disinfectant cleaning, before it is placed back for customer use.

Very nice thought, but sadly it never happens..
