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

It smells pungent and chokes eyes, and it is easy to leak in case of heat deformation; The counterfeit pulp lunch box has poor strength, dark color, and serious oil and water leakage; There is no factory name, trademark or production date on the packing case and lunch box; The counterfeit lunch box is heavier than the qualified product, and it is easy to sink when it is put into water after being torn (the proportion of qualified product is less than 1, and it will not sink); The price is cheap, generally below 0.10 yuan, while the price of a real environment-friendly lunch box is above 0.13 yuan.
Convenient chopsticks are too white and need to be vigilant
Many people think disposable chopsticks are more hygienic and safe when eating out. However, in order to reduce costs, some small workshops use inferior wood. In order to "whiten" chopsticks, some criminals will use sulfur fumigation and bleaching. When you eat with these chopsticks, the residual sulfur dioxide will enter your body.
How to prevent "poisoning"? After you get disposable chopsticks, you should check whether the manufacturer's name, trademark and contact information are printed on the package; Those disposable chopsticks that are too white are not credible; You can also smell the smell of chopsticks. If there is sour sulfur smell, don't use it. Do not soak wooden chopsticks in hot soup or porridge for a long time when eating, because it will accelerate the decomposition of sulfur dioxide. Clean the surface of chopsticks with cold water to reduce residual sulfur dioxide.
Colorful straw is not safe
When drinking, pay attention to that many straws are made of waste plastic, which is harmful to the liver and kidney.
Some unscrupulous businesses will dye straws in order to cover up the mottled color of straws made of waste plastic. The brighter the color, the greater the potential safety hazard^ Reminder, the colored straw is useless. Its raw materials do not rule out the possibility of using industrial plastics, or even recycling waste plastics. There are three steps to identify problematic straws: first, look at the information on the production packaging bag, production date, shelf life, production license and number (QS identification). Distinguish the color again. Try not to buy colorful ones. Pay special attention to dark ones^ After that, before the straw touches the drink, smell whether there is a pungent smell. If there is a smell, it must be the problem straw.
