Cinema's drinks contain high number of bacteria.

 Drinks serve at the cinema may contain high level of bacterial,according to latest research.
Drinks from three largest cinemas in the UK have shown high level of bacteria,according to investigation by the BBC .
Fizzy drinks from Cineworld, Odeon and Vue were tested in 30 cinemas, for BBC One's Watchdog programme.
Seven branches sold drinks with unacceptable bacteria levels.
Environmental health expert Tony Lewis said he was "concerned" it was "an indicator of hygiene failure".
Traces of the bacteria known as salmonella, which can cause food poisoning, were seen in two drinks from branches of Odeon cinemas. Listeria had also been found, in a drinks holder, Watchdog said. Mr Lewis, head of policy at the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, said: "That's the highest I've seen. And that is an indicator of equipment not being kept clean. That's a worry."
He said high bacteria levels in fizzy drinks were particularly concerning because they were ingested immediately.
Ice containing bacteria levels above an acceptable level - more than 1,000 units of bacteria per one millilitre of liquid - were found in nine cinemas, Watchdog said.
Four of those ice samples were from Cineworld branches, two were from Vue, and three from Odeon.
The highest bacteria count in ice was 10 million bacteria in one millilitre of liquid, and was found in the same Odeon branch as the highest bacteria-filled drink.
Mr Lewis said: "Ultimately, it's about people cutting corners And it's also about managers, owners of cinemas, managers of cinemas, not taking their responsibilities seriously and potentially keeping on top of the issues."
This discovery calls for concern , and further testing for any effect on  consumers.
The full report can be seen on Watchdog live at 20.00 on Wednesday, 9 May, on BBC One.
