Wooden spoons do hold bacteria just like any other spoon can if not washed properly.

As long as you wash the wooden spoon good enough and use soap and hot water the wooden spoons should not harbor any bacteria.

I dip my wooden spoons in some boiling water for a 5 to 10 seconds which is good enough to kill any bacteria that could be leftover after I wash it.

I wash the spoons in hot water in the sink and use just regular dish soap and never had any issues with bacteria or getting sick from it.

Just make sure you wash the wooden spoon often enough just like you would other spoons and it should not be a problem.
