The following news is from the FoodSafetyNews on October 22, 2015.
A study by Steven Ricke, director of the University of Arkansas Center for Food Safety found that "typical cleaning doesn’t actually sanitize the reusable plastic containers (RPCs) used to transport fruits, vegetables, poultry and other foods". Containers used for multiple kinds of foods are collapsed and brought to a central location to be cleaned. This causes a high likelhood of cross-contamination.
