Plastic packaging is not suitable for long-term use

[China Packaging Network News] The state is clearing up the packaging material standards and it is proposed that infants and young children should not use bisphenol A. China Packaging Network experts pointed out that in fact, in addition to infant bottles, plastic space cups, plastic soya-bean milk makers and other products may use bisphenol A, should pay attention not to use long-term high temperature, or try to avoid using.

Dong Jinshi, general secretary of the International Food Packaging Association, said that bisphenol A is a chemical substance widely used in plastics manufacturing. Although the European Union prohibits the use of bisphenol A in baby bottles, it is still allowed in drinking water bottles and purified water tanks.

For baby bottles made from PC, try to pick something that is less transparent, or change to a bottle that uses other materials. For example, PES and PPSU materials, but these two materials currently have no domestic standards, do not allow production, only allow imports, the higher the price.

Among the plastic bottles, the biggest problem is the Space Cup. Many people use space cups to make tea. High temperatures will make plastic cups release bisphenol A easily. As for drinking water barrels, mineral water buckets, mineral water bottles, etc. Water bottles generally do not require bisphenol A, and most are used at room temperature. However, care should be taken not to use it at high temperatures. “Alcohol bottles that are too transparent must also be noted that they are likely to contain bisphenol A.” If mineral water bottles are as transparent as glass, they should pay attention.

Some transparent Soymilk material is also PC material, may contain bisphenol A, some Soymilk can also be cooked, the release of a larger amount. So it is recommended to use stainless steel soybean milk machine.

The China Center for Disease Control and Nutrition and Food Safety revealed to China Packaging Network that the country is currently clearing the standards for packaging materials and has also issued a draft for soliciting opinions. The draft also stipulates that China’s future baby bottles cannot use bisphenol A. Currently, these are soliciting. opinion. At the same time, the National Food Safety Commission is also doing a job to do some research on the baby bottle that may use bisphenol A at present, and conduct related assessments. As for plastic lunch boxes, chopsticks, spoons and other products, BPA is generally not included. There is a layer of paint in the inner layer of metal cans, and bisphenol A is also used. Therefore, the metal cans cannot be directly heated and eaten at room temperature, or can be poured out and heated.
