Excessive use of plastic bowls is harmful to human health. When people buy disposable plastic tableware, as long as they buy products that meet national standards and use them correctly, there will be no safety problems.

Enterprises producing disposable plastic tableware should strictly control the monomer content and varieties of fermentation additives that may cause harm, and strictly control the dosage according to national standards; Catering units and consumers should also follow certain principles when using qualified disposable plastic tableware.

For example, the monomer styrene of PS foamed tableware is a low chronic toxic substance, and China's standards have clearly stipulated that the limit of styrene should be controlled below 1000ppm(0. 1%), so as long as the monomer styrene does not exceed the standard and is used at a temperature below 80 degrees, it will not pose a threat to human health.

Matters needing attention in daily use

Different kinds of disposable plastic tableware have different use conditions, and their temperature resistance and pressure resistance are obviously different. Tang Saizhen said that the use temperature of disposable plastic tableware is usually below 100℃, and the highest temperature is not more than 150℃.

For example, PS foamed tableware is safe to use below 80℃, so it is not suitable for boiling water and microwave heating. PP plastic tableware has good heat resistance and can be used for microwave heating, but it is not suitable for frozen packaging.

In addition, foods containing acid and high oil content generally do not react with plastic tableware, so consumers can use them with confidence.
