Publix/Winn Dixie have problem with plastic bags

Tampa Tribune tested more than a dozen bags from major grocers and found certain bags sold in Winn-Dixie and Publix stores had lead levels that concerned health officials. According to the paper, the danger is more to landfills, where the bags accumulate and degrade, than to households.

Publix has asked its bag suppliers to find ways to make reusable grocery bags with less lead. The full story will be in the Sunday edition of the Tampa Tribune.
