However, sharing may not be safe since microorganisms found on hands may be transferred onto the shared popcorn.

Over 30 samplings revealed that bacterial transfer to popcorn from hands was very low;however transfer did occur with large variation between subjects. Since hands and surfaces can carry bacteria in situations where food is being shared, transferring bacteria from one person to another person is always a risk.展开更多
