What are the dangers of using fake environmentally friendly lunch boxes?

Fake environmentally friendly lunch boxes are products that contain large amounts of inorganic mineral fillers such as talcum powder or calcium carbonate (there are also a few tableware made of waste plastic or waste paper, which are more harmful). The acetic acid residue exceeds the national standard by several times, and fails to meet the environmental protection and food hygiene standards. It can easily cause diseases such as gallstones to the human body, causing serious harm to health.

How can a plastic lunch box be mistaken for a real one?

Low-quality disposable plastic lunch boxes are popular in some small restaurants because they are cheap and can be bought for just a few cents. For example, in the production of low-quality lunch boxes, a large amount of industrial-grade calcium carbonate, talcum powder, paraffin and other toxic and harmful materials are generally added, posing a direct threat to the health of users.

Fake environmentally friendly plastic lunch boxes feel soft to the touch, break when torn lightly, have a pungent and irritating smell, deform when heated and leak easily; fake paper pulp lunch boxes have poor strength, dark color, and serious oil and water seepage; there are no factory names, trademarks, or production dates on the packaging boxes and lunch boxes; fake lunch boxes are heavier than qualified products and will easily sink in water after being torn into pieces (qualified products have a specific gravity of less than 1 and will not sink); they are cheap, generally below 0.10 yuan, while real environmentally friendly lunch boxes cost more than 0.13 yuan.

Be careful when disposable chopsticks are too white

Many people think that disposable chopsticks are more hygienic and safer when dining out. But some small workshops use inferior wood in order to reduce costs. In order to "whiten" chopsticks, some unscrupulous elements use sulfur fumigation and bleaching. When you eat with these chopsticks, the residual sulfur dioxide will enter your body.

How to prevent "poisoning"? After getting the disposable chopsticks, check whether the manufacturer's name, trademark and contact information are printed on the packaging; disposable chopsticks that are too white are not trustworthy; you can also smell the chopsticks. If there is a sour sulfur smell, it is best not to use them. Do not soak wooden chopsticks in hot soup or hot porridge for a long time when eating, as this will accelerate the decomposition of sulfur dioxide. You can wash the surface of chopsticks with cold water to reduce residual sulfur dioxide.
