Buy food plastic containers in places that are safe

Currently, there are a lot of plastic food products of unknown origin, produced manually, without inspection. It can be a huge danger to consumers' health due to poor hygienic production, use of recycled plastic with many additives, toxic colorants .

To ensure safety, you should buy food plastic containers from reputable brands, certified by accrediting agencies. We should choose to buy high-gloss, clear plastic, the surface is not rough or scratched. Such products often have much higher safety.

Should choose inorganic, hard, white plastic box

We should use inorganic plastic food containers because they are less toxic than organic plastics. To distinguish these 2 plastics, you can look under the sun, organic plastic will still see the sun and inorganic plastic will not let sunlight pass.

Besides, we also need to pay attention to the hardness and color of food plastic products. White and hard plastic boxes often have higher safety. The reason is that the plastic is flexible and the color is colorful and easy to be deformed or stop being contaminated with chemicals and colorants at high temperature. Therefore, it can cause poisoning for us, making a significant impact on health, and causing dangerous diseases too!

Do not reuse thin plastic bottles and containers

According to research by experts, soft drink bottles or plastic containers are usually made of plastic # 1 PET, which is disposable plastic. Over time, when we reuse and expose bottles to sunlight, high temperatures, etc., chemicals, additives, and colorants used in the process of making this plastic can be absorbed. into water and toxic to health.

Not only that, bottles or boxes made from this plastic are difficult to scrub because they are porous plastic, very easy to absorb flavor and bacteria during use. This not only causes unhygienic but also affects the digestive system and especially the health of users.

Avoid using hot plastic food

When we use a plastic box to store hot food, especially at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, the amount of monostyren (a poison) in the plastic will release and seep into the food. This causes serious damage to the liver and causes many serious health problems.

In particular, you absolutely should not use plastic to store food when put into the microwave. High temperatures in the oven can cause toxic substances from plastic to be released and absorbed into food, causing serious harm. Moreover, the combination of fat in food with synthetic resins will create dioxin, which is very dangerous to health, even leading to cancer, affecting our lives.

Therefore, the best way for us is to use glass containers, glassware, porcelain dishes to store food when put in the microwave!
