Many consumers who often ate outside decided to change their eating habits, the office workers With meals and chopsticks, some portable tableware began to sell in online stores and supermarkets.

Media reports into online store promotion points

Many people go out to eat, preferring to use disposable chopsticks, rather than using the ordinary chopsticks provided in the restaurant, I think ordinary chopsticks may not be completely disinfected. However, at present, there is no safety standard for chopsticks in China. In order to make chopsticks look whiter and cleaner, the chopsticks are often made of sulfur-smoke, blister, and paraffin. After the exposure of CCTV's "3·15" party, many people began to choose their own tableware. The original obscure portable tableware was sold in online stores and supermarkets.

The reporter saw from Taobao that the sales of portable tableware in many stores increased significantly in March. Some savvy merchants directly posted the news reports of the media exposure poison chopsticks and waste oil directly to the product introduction to cater to the consumer psychology. In several supermarkets in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, the reporter found that the lunch boxes, spoons, and chopsticks originally targeted at students also had white-collar workers and office workers.

Portable tableware is not all safe and safe

The reporter saw that the price of each portable tableware is not equal. For portable chopsticks, the texture is mainly stainless steel and ebony. The price ranges from a few yuan to seventy-eight yuan/set, and the price is very different. Experts also reminded that not all portable tableware can guarantee safety and hygiene. If it is too cheap, it depends on whether the quality is guaranteed. According to Chen Zuhui, Ph.D., Department of Epidemiology, Medical Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, there are also colored tableware at the entrance. In the case of friction, etc., the coating is peeled off, and plastic chopsticks can release toxins at high temperatures, which affects health.

Hot water tableware is just psychological comfort

For the Cantonese people who like to wash the tableware with hot water before going out to eat, Qin Weiyi, director of the emergency department of the Guangzhou Military Region General Hospital, and Dr. Chen Zuhui, the first affiliated hospital of Jinan University, think that this can only be a psychological comfort. The role of health and disease prevention is not Big.

Eating out is mainly to prevent infectious diseases and food poisoning. Most people worry that the infectious disease is hepatitis B. Qin Weiyi said that this is actually a misunderstanding. The transmission route of hepatitis B is blood, mother and baby and sex. It will not spread through the digestive tract. That is to say, general eating will not be infected with hepatitis B. Guangzhou did not cancel the hepatitis B test of food practitioners. Qin Weiyi said that even if he is infected with hepatitis B virus and becomes a carrier of the virus, it does not mean that he has hepatitis B, which is related to the individual's immunity. When it comes to preventing food poisoning, "this is the responsibility of the business." Chen Zuhui said that whether the restaurant's cooking materials are fresh, whether the chopping knives and cutting boards are cleaned, whether the food is processed thoroughly, etc. homework. Moreover, only the tableware is rinsed with boiling water. If there is a problem with the food, the clean tableware can not avoid food poisoning, not to mention the washing of boiling water in a few minutes or even a dozen seconds. It is impossible to remove any bacteria.

Best choice bamboo chopsticks


Look at the market for portable chopsticks in a variety of materials, such as bamboo, wood, painted, plastic, bone, silver, stainless steel and so on. What kind of chopsticks are more practical and healthier?

From the perspective of environmental protection and health, Chen Zuhui, Ph.D., Department of Epidemiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, suggested choosing bamboo chopsticks of natural materials. Because bamboo has a long growth cycle, it is environmentally friendly, and it is not poisonous. It is also very light. Of course, stainless steel can also be used, plastic tableware can not be used, will release toxins when exposed to high temperatures.

Painted chopsticks should not be used, because the heavy metal lead in the paint and the organic solvent benzene and other substances are carcinogenic, and, with the wear and tear in use, the paint on the chopsticks will fall off and enter the human body with food, which will endanger people's health. .

How to identify the waste oil when going out to eat


In general, after washing, distillation, decolorization, deodorization and other refining processes, it is difficult to distinguish between trench oil and ordinary oil from the appearance and sense. Unscrupulous traders usually incorporate waste oil into cooking oil. If the content is small, it is difficult to detect. He Dongping, a professor at the School of Food Science and Engineering at Wuhan Institute of Technology, who investigated the inside of the trench oil, told the media that it is difficult to distinguish the oil from the trench by relying on traditional detection methods. A single method cannot be used as a “classical method” for identification. Moreover, eating out is mostly a finished product, and it is difficult to see the process of using oil. In this case, the consumer can only be given some points to let him avoid the waste oil by experience and feeling.

1. Look at transparency and color

Some street stalls will have barbecues and cooking on the spot. At this time, everyone should take the opportunity to see if the appearance of the oil is pure and there are no impurities. The pure vegetable oil is transparent and clear. In the production process, due to the mixing of alkali grease, wax, impurities, etc., the transparency will decrease and there will be sediment impurities.

2. Taste the taste

The oil with sour taste is unqualified, and the oil with bitter taste has been rancid. It can be found by careful tasting. However, in the case of a dish with a big taste of pepper, it is difficult for ordinary diners to distinguish it. Some people suddenly find it after eating a bad stomach.

According to reports, medical research shows that long-term intake of waste oil can cause significant damage to the human body, such as developmental disorders, prone to enteritis, liver, heart and kidney enlargement and fatty liver and other diseases. Aflatoxin, one of the major hazards in the waste oil, is a strong carcinogen. Therefore, Chen Zuhui, a doctor of epidemiology in the Medical Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, said that it is best not to eat long-term meals for three meals a day, and not to order more oily dishes such as boiled fish to avoid the damage caused by accumulation of time. And when the resistance to illness is weak, it is recommended not to go out to eat as much as possible, otherwise it will be vulnerable to disease.
