(That is, by the way, the same "fabric" the baby face one is made from.) They are giving customers $1.50 per bag for the returned bags. I have some 15-20 of the bags and was told tonight that this is not a problem.

From what I read on Winn Dixie's site they are only concerned with the future impact made by disposing of the bags and say they are safe to use. However, I've already had one cashier question the safety of my bags because of "germs." I told her I only use specific surface-washable bags for meats and I clean them with disinfectant. She didn't look convinced, but she let it go. Good thing…she almost lost WD a customer. So with this in mind I'm returning my questionable bags and will buy cloth ones (or make some which I've been planning to do for a while.)

Hope this is helpful.
