The Ohio-based store chain scored a 77 on Consumers Report, unquestionably the highest ranking store on our list. This doesn’t mean that the store had stellar reviews when it came to how clean it was. If anything, it’s just the best on our list, but it is still present, so it says lots about it.
When it came to the pandemic, they managed it a bit better, with rules and regulations put in place. Moreover, they have been transparent about what they were doing, as they have published a list of measures they took on their website, which also included disinfecting and cleaning more thoroughly.
Now, if after the height of the pandemic is over, the store is still as unsafe as it was once deemed, we’ll let you be the judge of that.

When you only have 2 stores to shop at and Walmart is one of them you can’t just stop shopping there.
Yes you can stop shopping at Walmart. I’ve only gone in there twice in over 15 years. Deep fryer and a car seat.
That’s it.
My daughter called me after calling 911 she was so sick.
The doctor asked where she had been in the past 3 days. She said Walmart. The doctor moved his arm around the ER. AND said. The one thing you all have in common.
Aaand this is why I pay no attention to Consumer Reports — their “criteria” for condemning products and businesses is usually not remotely relevant to me. All that they succeed in doing is to further damage the U.S. economy. Good grief — wash your hands, wash your produce and get on with your life!
you r correct
Amen! Funny, I shop at both Stop and Shop and Key Food, and I haven’t perceived either of them being “unsafe.” It’s hard to tell if this article is talking about the history of the stores’ protocol since the pandemic started, or if they’re only talking about recent days. Most indoor mask mandates have been lifted, even where I live, and mask wearing is optional. If people posting on Consumer Reports still think that’s “unsafe”, then maybe they should stick to ordering their groceries online or doing curbside pickup.
So the reason you stop paying attention to CONSUMER REPORT is because they are telling you the truth? Now, they are not “The Gods”, nor do they pretend to be. Some of their ratings have been, shall we say, “way off the mark”, but overall, they are a reliable source. And, as with any source, it needs to be checked. But having traveled extensively around the country, I can say that in this case they are pretty well on. All stores? Probably not, but if there looks to be a pattern, there usually is one.
I had a roommate/friend that is very social and seems to live for the purpose of becoming much closer to anyone that he sees routinely, he reported to me that there were numerous Safeway employees that were infected with the Covid 19 in the first two years of the breakout, still, he never contracted Covid himself and only became infected when he moved to PA where most of his family live and they have no Safeway to shop where he lives in PA. He is convinced that it was him relaxing his normally rigorous hygiene around his family that was the cause of his infection of Covid. I also do most of my shopping at this same Safeway and have not contracted Covid, (but for the grace of YOU KNOW WHO) both My friend and I are very careful about caring for our own hygiene, but it is foolish to rely on others to be responsible for our own personal hygiene, in the area of protecting ourself from being infected, it is very common to see that there are many more customers not wearing their masks than ever before in this very Safeway in 2022 ( may HE give them grace for their lack of personal responsibility) The shame here is that I cannot use the CREATORS name or this post will be banned as offensive. Today is the day of salvation, we are not promised tomorrow.
It is because Key Foods are in low income locations
I live in New Jersey and do shop at Teaneck store, which the store is clean< staff is helpful and registers are always maned, which means lite or no waiting.
While visiting my daughter in Brooklyn (Flatbush) I went shopping at the Flatbush Avenue store Brooklyn NY 11226. IMUST say I had expected to much, The store was a mess very, very long lines NOT enough resisters open not able to locate a manager, I purchased a cake for my great-granddaughter requested her name be written on it, however, in order to have that done, I first had to pay at customer service window (which had line for people buying lottrey) then return to the cake person.
My only reason for this kind of service is it is in a black community, where the residence got no respect. Maybe your corporate should take a look ate this location. I must say the cashier I had was very nice she said good afternoon and thank you.
Every business—-stores, restuarnts, bars, offices, medical, dental, hospitals, etc. every public place is back to pre-pandemic days—–NOT CLEANING< NO-MASKS, NO DISINFECTING, etc.
Stop with the damned fear mongering. We get enough from DC and the media. Be more concerned with poisons added to our food through chemtrails, gmos, fake meat etc.etc.
Keep Calm & keep shopping! If you can’t then wear a KN-95 mask while shopping.
Well, we have three and two are on the list.
Ratings like this are irrelevant since individual chain stores are what matters. The local management and staff. I have been to some fantastic WalMart stores, so cannot paint them with one brush
SAME HERE, my Walmart is clean. I have been in all grocery stores a night club and anywhere that was open during the so-called pandemic. I have COPD and don’t and didn’t wear a mask the entire time. I am very clean about myself keeping hands washed and not getting in peoples space. I’m 76 and have not gotten sick. Funny how regular flu just pfff disappeared?
