Many snack shops are used to holding foods in disposable plastic bags and bowls, even if it is hot noodles or freshly baked pancakes, many customers think that this approach is more "hygienic." However, the actual situation is not the case.
Experts from Shaanxi Provincial Department of Health reminded that the use of plastic bags to hold cooked foods with higher temperatures is even more toxic than tableware.
Experts pointed out that the film plastic bags used in many restaurants are made from polyvinyl chloride, and most of them are recycled plastics. This kind of plastic bag containing polyvinyl chloride will emit chlorine and other toxic substances when it encounters high temperatures.
Fresh-fried fritters and hot porridge, pasta, the temperature is about 90 degrees Celsius, so eating, long time may cause chronic poisoning.
Shaanxi Provincial Health Department officials said that Shaanxi Province is currently carrying out food hygiene law propaganda activities, requiring small and medium-sized restaurant restaurants to provide their own tableware disinfection machine or to implement uniform disinfection of tableware, and centralized supply.
Health law enforcement officers checked the restaurant’s hygiene work and found that although the restaurant has provided sterile tableware, many consumers are still more willing to put a plastic bag on the bowl. The health department reminds consumers that they need to actively refuse to use plastic bags to bowl.
