Those who started their housekeeping life putting their purchases into a real shopping bag know how to use one. The only people who won't keep the meat juices and so on from the bags-for-life are those who would have piled the lot all together into one plastic carrier without considering cross-contamination. They will be no different to before, when they had blood smears on the butter, the cereal packets, the biscuits . . .
They will have to learn to keep foods separate when necessary. It could be a hard lesson, but they will pick it up.
