What are the hazards of food packaging bags not meeting hygiene and safety standards?
Food packaging bag is a bag specifically designed for packaging food, used to protect food, prevent it from being affected by external factors, and facilitate carrying and storage. Food packaging bags need to comply with hygiene and safety standards. So what are the hazards of food packaging bags not meeting hygiene and safety standards?
Food packaging bags come into direct contact with food, and their quality is related to food safety and hygiene. Food bags that do not meet the standards may migrate harmful substances into the food, posing potential hazards to human health. These standards usually have strict regulations on the quality of materials, the use of additives, printing requirements, and other related aspects to maintain consumer health and safety.
The following issues should be noted when using food bags:
1. Choose the appropriate food bag: Based on the characteristics and storage requirements of the food, choose a food bag that meets the corresponding standards.
2. Avoid high temperatures: Some food bags cannot tolerate high temperatures, so avoid using them in high temperature environments to prevent the release of harmful substances.
3. Pay attention to cleanliness: Keep the surface of the food bag clean to avoid contaminating the food.
4. Good sealing: Ensure that the food bag is well sealed to prevent external contamination or moisture from affecting the food.
5. Non reusable: Disposable food bags should not be reused multiple times to avoid affecting food quality and safety.
6. Pay attention to the shelf life: Pay attention to the shelf life of food bags and avoid using expired food bags.
The common materials for food bags are as follows:
1. Polyethylene (PE): including low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), is a common food bag material that is safe and environmentally friendly.
2. Polypropylene (PP): It has good mechanical properties and heat resistance.
3. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): It was once widely used, but its use has gradually decreased due to potential safety hazards.
4. Polyester (PET): commonly used to make transparent and wear-resistant food bags.
