Is single-use food packaging hygienic to use?


Such as disposable lunch boxes, fresh-keeping bags, disposable paper cups, etc., usually we use them directly without washing, is this?


PVC food cling film may cause cancer and is just the tip of the iceberg of the problem of unsafe food packaging. According to the investigation, unqualified disposable tableware, which has long been included in the "blacklist" by the quality inspection department, is still "popular" in the Beijing market... Is it that the supervisory department has not done a good job, or has the duties of the administrative department not been fulfilled properly? And as a victim of substandard disposable tableware, how do consumers react to this?


Toxic tableware is flooding the market, and disposable tableware such as chopsticks and lunch boxes can be seen everywhere in our lives. Street food bars, food stalls, fast food restaurants and other dining places that are not very high-grade, and the tableware used is mostly disposable. And in the garbage cans of various office buildings and most office spaces, a large amount of such garbage is also "received" every day.


According to the regulations, the main raw material for the production of lunch boxes is polypropylene, with a content of about 80%; Industrial calcium carbonate as filler, the content should not exceed 20%. Polypropylene has strong plasticity, and the lunch box produced has good strength and is not easy to deform. However, industrial calcium carbonate is a kind of stone powder, plasticity is relatively poor, and it is difficult for the powder to be bonded together when used in excess of use, so the produced lunch box is prone to softening, leakage and other quality problems.


The soft feel, light tear and odor, are the common characteristics of these unqualified disposable lunch boxes. The feel is soft, making the lunch box very inconvenient to use, and even causing things such as food or soup to spill out during meals; The smell is a clear sign that the material used to make the lunch box contains toxic substances. But it is such substandard tableware, why is it circulating in such a large number in the market? Why do so many catering companies use it, and so many consumers don't refuse?
