Plastic bags can not be used as cling film

Pack foods in regular plastic bags, sometimes heated with food, old people may be chronic poisoning

For the convenience of the map, the restaurant uses plastic products to hold the food directly into the microwave oven for heating; it is considered sanitary, and the consumer holds a mala Tang in a plastic bag on the outer layer of the plastic basin; the public prefers to store the vegetables in various plastic bags. Recently, reporters and relevant departments learned that the plastic products that are commonly used by the public are likely to be unqualified products. If they are used improperly, they will cause harm to their health.

In recent days, Miss Yang had eaten at a restaurant on Shanyin Road. As a result, she discovered that the eggs were laden with a thin plastic cup and were directly heated in a microwave oven. When Miss Yang got eggs, she noticed that the cup had changed shape. Ms. Yang expressed doubts about the method of heating things in plastic cups. She said, “Is it safe to heat this stuff?”

The reporter saw in the interview that there are still many phenomena in using “three-nothing” plastic products to hold hot food. In Yucai Road, a small shop selling mala Tang, consumers are more willing to put a layer of plastic bags in addition to the spicy plastic pots. "These pots are used by so many people throughout the day, and they are not necessarily washed clean. A bag can be clean," said Miss Consumer.

For the doubts of consumers, the reporter learned from the industrial and commercial department that the individual fast food shops and breakfast stalls on the market currently use plastic products to package high-temperature foods, but the quality of these products is often not enough. And these products are mostly processed from PVC. Most of PVC is recycled plastic. Most of these plastic bags contain polyvinyl chloride. When the temperature exceeds 50°C, toxic components in the plastic bag will seep out. When the temperature reaches 80°C, it will melt with heat and release toxic substances. Although this kind of hazard can not be seen for a while, long-term use will cause chronic poisoning of food eaters, causing great harm to human health.

The industry and commerce department reminded consumers that frozen and frozen foods in the refrigerator should use plastic wrap instead of ordinary plastic bags. The special process and raw materials of cling film have good air permeability and preservation performance. However, if the common plastic bag is used for a long time, the food will be deteriorated and rot, and the purpose of keeping fresh food can not be achieved.
