6. Do not use plastic bags to pack high-temperature food for a long time: In our daily life, we often see some people use plastic bags to pack steaming fried foods, such as fried cakes and dough sticks, and some people put plastic bags in them. The tableware is for customer use. There are directly imported hot food in the plastic bag. When the temperature exceeds 50°C, the plastic bag will release toxic gas.

Do not use ordinary plastic bags to heat in the microwave: When heating food in the microwave, use special plastic bags and special containers for microwave ovens.
Do not use ordinary plastic bags to pack food and store it in the refrigerator: refrigerated and frozen foods in the refrigerator should be covered with plastic wrap instead of ordinary plastic bags. Due to the special technology and raw materials of the cling film, it has good air permeability and fresh-keeping performance. However, if ordinary plastic bags are used for a long time, the food will quickly deteriorate and rot and cannot achieve the purpose of keeping fresh.
For consumers, food bags cannot be used directly, as a result, they can only be discarded in the trash after eating the food. In recent years, the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China has increasingly strict sanitation standards for food packaging, requiring raw materials to meet standard requirements. Such a huge effort is not unfounded. Food poisoning incidents caused by unsanitary food bags and non-compliance with corresponding safety standards are not uncommon in China.
So why can food bags attract such high attention and have such high hygiene standards?
Its obvious function is: packaging plays an irreplaceable role in protecting food, preventing food from being contaminated by external microorganisms or other substances, preventing or reducing food oxidation and other reactions. Packaging is indispensable in human life. At the same time, substandard packaging also directly affects human health.
