What materials are the tested bags made of? Where had they been stored between shopping trips? And most of all ... had they been used for other purposes as well? In many western countries it is customary to use reusable bags, baskets and the likes, especially since plastic bags are charged for and are rather expensive. Having lived in said countries, I have never heard or seen any case were people got sick from their shopping bags! With the exception of fresh, loose produce and the occasional bakery product (they usually are in bags too), the goods we purchase are mostly tightly packaged. A little common sense goes a long way.
