The Oak Point Fresh Markets in Watson and Central have added a sanitation system that goes beyond shopping cart wipes and sanitizes the entire cart, store owner John Sumich said.
At stores, the carts move through a fiberglass unit that applies a fresh lemon sterilizing mist that dries quickly.
The independent neighborhood markets represent the first retailer in Louisiana to adopt the PureCart system, which uses a solution approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration to sterilize carts against more than 99 percent of food-borne and environmental pathogens.
PureCart Systems LLC, based in Green Bay, Wis., said grocery carts expose shoppers to more bacteria and germs than public restrooms.
