Six safety points of plastic package used in food consumption
Recently, an interview has been opened by consumers' association in Shenyang. Food safety consumption has some problem, particularly in terms of bulk food consumption. Some consumers are shortage of consumption knowledge. There is blind spot of consumption and error. Some operators lack good faith consciousness, and their food safety consciousnesses are poor. To ensure consumer food consumption safety, the Shenyang city consumers association puts forward "six notes" when buy scattered food.
1. Should use plastic bags carefully
At present, all kinds of flavor snacks attract many consumers. These foods are mostly packed on the bowl in a plastic sack. It seems like very health, but in fact, it has certain security hidden danger. The plastic sack that used in food package must meet the requirement of the state, and the materials must conform to the requirements of the food-grade. When consumers buy these snacks, they must pay attention to these marks on the bags.
2. the food grade plastic bag can’t serving food at high temperature
Businessmen often use them to hold hot food, such as hot soup. Well, it is dangerous. As we all know, when the temperature reaches a quite hot degree, the chemical composition will change. And harmful composition will be produced. Maybe one or two times will not be so obvious, but long-term use will produce great harm.
3. Pay attention to disposable straws and disposable plastic cups
Last year, Consumers' association in Shenyang did a test on disposable plastic bowls, cups and straws. Thirty percents of them did not reach the standard.
4. Whether the sales environment is clean or not
Many production and operation environments are narrow and chaos. They are often unable to guarantee the food safety. The hygienic requirements of washing, disinfection, storage and temperature control, facilities or equipment are always the problem.
5. operators operating specifications
Food safety law stipulates that ready-to-eat foods and do not need to wash processing of bulk food sales staff must hold a valid health certificate. And operation must be wearing a mask, gloves and hats. However, according to the fact, this part is the most common phenomenon happened in retail food business.
6. Should check the logo is whether complete or not
According to the regulation of food safety law, the package of food should show obviously the name, production date, shelf life, and other important content. When choose the food, we should be more careful about the information on the plastic bags.
