Whether it is a developed country or a developing country, eliminating food security is the goal of all nations. Food safety experts believe that in order to eliminate food safety issues, we must first address the root causes that may affect food contamination.

There are many ways to cause toxic and harmful substances in foods. The “food plastic packaging” that is unqualified for packaging materials is the most common and dangerous.

1. Effect of plastic packaging materials on food safety

In the past two decades, China's plastic packaging products industry has developed rapidly. There are not only many manufacturers in China, but also a variety of products, and the quality has reached a certain high level. It is understood that almost all packaging materials in the world can be manufactured in China. However, in the rapid development of the packaging industry, China's plastic packaging products companies focus on the scale, yield, physical and mechanical properties, high temperature and low temperature requirements, resistance to media erosion, healthy and safe packaging materials themselves The performance is not very well valued.

Found in the domestic plastic packaging products industry: many composite materials in the manufacture of packaging materials, procurement of raw materials, use, to improve the production conditions until the finished product inspection, there are some health and safety problems. Even many food manufacturers are using packaging materials to consider the content of the product and the health and safety of the body incompletely. They only pay attention to fastness, strength, appearance and price, and the most concern is the presence or absence of odor. In short, the potential impact of packaging materials on food hygiene and packaging materials on the global environment has not received much attention. This is why plastic packaging is a hidden cause of food safety.

2. Poor food plastic packaging seriously threatens human life safety

The safety of plastic packaged foods has become commonplace: Recently, the provincial Bureau of Industry and Commerce conducted a selective inspection of the special product quality of food packaging containers in the region, and found that many phthalate plasticizers used in the production of plastic containers exceeded the standards, including infants. Feed tableware; plastic packaging of poor quality foods seriously threatens the safety of human life, and the safety of food packaging and food quality are equally important. In this regard, food manufacturers should work harder on food packaging to not only be responsible for the quality of packaging materials, but also explicitly inform consumers of the consequences of improper use. As a consumer, we may not be able to control the manufacturer's packaging production, but we can exercise the right to choose.

3, to solve the "toxic" problem in plastic packaging products, starting from the plastic packaging industry

To solve the "poison" problem in plastic packaging products, we must start from the plastic packaging industry itself. The problem of many plastic packaging products now stems from the fact that unscrupulous merchants have resorted to profiteering and loosened their control over the production process. As a result, the quality of their products has declined. They have seriously polluted the food after entering the market, leading to food safety problems.
