Why not use plastic bottles of cooking oil? Can cooking oil be put in plastic bottles?

Cooking oil can't be kept in plastic oil drums for a long time, because the plasticizer in plastic is easy to dissolve in oil, which makes the oil smell and a small amount of organic chemical components dissolve in oil. It can be seen that it is very unsafe to use plastic barrels of edible oil. The best way is not to buy large barrels of oil cheaply, but to buy small packages according to the family population and usage, which can reduce the storage time of edible oil at home and pour it into glass bottles as soon as possible after buying it.

The composition of plastic is very complicated, and it is a kind of plastic polymer compound. In the process of making plastic bottles, workers will add a certain amount of plasticizer and stabilizer to fix the shape of the bottles, so as to make the bottles shape. In order to make the bottle colorful, some industrial pigments will be added to enrich the color of the bottle. These chemicals, such as plasticizers and industrial pigments, may be harmful to human body.

According to research, plasticizers have toxic effects on human reproductive system, especially on men. Moreover, if the edible oil is in contact with the plastic for a long time, a chemical reaction will occur, so that harmful substances in the plastic will dissolve into the edible oil. After these oils are eaten, harmful substances will enter people's bodies, leading to various diseases and seriously endangering people's health.

Plastic drums will also increase the production of white garbage, and as we all know, white garbage is not easy to decompose, so discarded plastic oil drums will pollute our surrounding environment after use.
