Plastic packaging bags are widely used in our daily life, but do you know that unreasonably use of plastic packaging bags is harmful to our health? Now let’s see how to use plastic packaging bags reasonably.

First, we’d better try to avoid using plastic bags to package cooked food. If we package cooked food is in plastic bags,  the food will become spoilage. If we eat it,  it may cause vomiting, diarrhea and other food poisoning symptoms. In addition, the plastic bags themselves will release harmful gases, which will accumulate in the sealed environment for a long time, and the concentration will increase with the increase of time, thus contaminating the food in the bags and affecting human health, especially that of the children.

Second, do not use ultra-thin plastic bags. Ultra-thin plastic bags are light, thin, but the bearing capacity is very strong, because plastic bags manufacturers add plasticiser in the process of production, and the plasticiser is very adverse to human health. National laws and regulations also prohibit manufacturers to produce and sell ultra-thin plastic bags.

Third, do not use plastic bag to package alcoholic food. Alcohol and oily foods can dissolve lead in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic bags, which cannot hold food at temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. In addition, consumers should put their food in special food packaging bags. Especially those dark color plastic bags, which are likely to be reprocessed by recycled plastic,  should be resolutely avoided in food packaging.

Additional, plastic bags cannot be heated in the microwave oven with food. The heating of plastic bags is liable to produce carcinogenic substances, which is very harmful to human health. Consumers should use special microwave ovens plastic film for heating.
