Cocktail sticks and toothpicks supplier

[David Winterbourne]

In article <E1w9r7.7on at fsa.bris.ac.uk>, Harry Witchel says...

>cocktail sticks are generally impregnated with disinfectant for hygienic 
>purposes.  The best cocktail sticks for the lab are Canadian virgin wood. 

>>>Anyone out there (preferably UK) recommend a good supplier of cocktail 
>>>sticks? Safeway's...Sainsbury's..Tesco's...don't want to pay mega bucks 
>>>for  FPLC purified ones shipped on dry ice!

Here's a UK response:

Woolworths sells 100 cocktail sticks for 59p, they are tested for colony 
picking and pcr - by me ;).  I believe that cocktail sticks (i.e. for food 
use) are NOT impregnated with disinfectant, although toothpicks (for exactly 
that!) may well be.
