Do disposable bowls and chopsticks (especially paper bowls) have any influence on people's health and what are the hazards?

I seldom use them. It's basically processed by some black workshops. Chopsticks are bleached with sulfur dioxide, hydrogen peroxide or calcium hypochlorite to make them look better. After bleaching in these three ways, a lot of water is needed for cooking or rinsing. But in the actual manufacturing process, no one uses that much water. It is reported that 93% disposable chopsticks in Taipei are fumigated and bleached with sulfur dioxide. The longer the fumigation time, the whiter the chopsticks and the more sour the taste. Manufacturers usually ignore the boiling step after sulfur dioxide fumigation and bleaching. Residual sulfur dioxide combined with other substances will become sulfite, which is considered to cause asthma in the medical field.

Behind the seemingly clean disposable paper bowl, there are actually huge health risks hidden. Many processing plants are

Use recycled paper to make paper bowls, some small workshops stick paper bowls with cheap and toxic industrial adhesives, and

The ink printed on some paper bowls is not "food-grade" ink, but industrial ink, which easily penetrates into the inner wall of tableware.

It is harmful to health. Some insiders say that the paper bowl can hold water because the inner wall is coated with a polyethylene waterproof film.

However, if the materials are not well selected or the process is not enough, this substance may be oxidized into carbonyl compounds. carbonyl compound

It is easy to volatilize after heating, and people will smell a strange smell. Long-term intake of this substance is very harmful, especially some small ones.

The factory is still using recycled polyethylene waterproof membrane, which is prohibited by law. Finally, in order to make it look good, the manufacturer added a lot of fluorescence.

Whitening agents, once these harmful substances enter the human body, will mutate cells and become potential carcinogens.

To sum up, the harm to human body is certain, and it is best not to use it.
