Soda Fountains Contain Bacteria

Soda fountain machines in restaurants may contain contaminated fecal bacteria. A study of 30 machines in Roanoke Valley, Virginia reported that 70 percent of the machines had bacteria and 40 of them had coliform bacteria, which has been banned in drinking water because it can possibly contain fecal bacteria. The tap water and ice machines did not test positive for bacteria, it seems that it was the machine that was growing the bacteria. Even though they are not sure what exactly is causing the bacteria, there should be better cleaning of the instruments, and the public should not have access to dispensing their own sodas.
