Consumption warning

Disinfecting wipes does not "disinfect"

According to the survey, the disinfection effect of disinfection wipes is limited, and the environment is polluted after being discarded. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use inferior materials and add fluorescent brighteners that have carcinogenic effect on human body in order to make their products whiter and cleaner. There are also some strong scents when the wipes are opened, and the essence they use may also be industrial grade.

Do not wrap meat with PVC fresh-keeping film

At present, polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are common food preservative films on the market, among which PE preservative films are relatively safe. In order to increase the softness and adhesion of PVC fresh-keeping film, manufacturers often add plasticizers. Plasticizers will penetrate into food when they come into contact with fat food, so as to enter human body with food. If plasticizers accumulate in the body for a long time, they will cause hormone imbalance and reduce human immunity.

Previously, a survey found that PVC preservative film was abused in fresh meat areas and cooked food areas of large supermarkets in Beijing, Guangdong and Shenzhen.

Stall color straw hidden danger

Every morning, people drink hot soybean milk bought at the stall. There is no sign on the outer bag of straw used by vendors. The raw material for straw production is generally high-density polyethylene, and food grade polyethylene is more expensive than non food grade polyethylene. Therefore, some production enterprises will use industrial grade polyethylene or waste plastics to make straws. Such straws are easy to produce low molecular harmful substances, such as carcinogen naphthalene. Long term use will affect human liver and lead to blood diseases.

Moreover, three no plastic straw, the brighter the color, the greater the potential safety hazard. Manufacturers may use pigments to cover substandard materials such as waste, which usually contain heavy metals such as lead.
