What You Need to Know About Food-Grade Plastic Materials? (Part IX)

There are stories in every cup, and warmth in everyday life. Hello everyone, "Dong Dong's Cup Talk" is here! Recently, I came across some official media discussing health and food safety concerns related to the plastic materials used in disposable plastic meal boxes and cups. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10244.htmlI thought this would be a great opportunity to dive deep into the food-grade plastic materials we use in our factory's daily production.

To ensure you trust that this content isn’t just made up, I’ve invited Engineer Li, who has worked for many years at an internationally renowned quality inspection agency, to share his insights. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10244.htmlMost of the international safety inspections for the plastic products our factory produces are handled by Engineer Li’s company.

Hello, I’m Engineer Li, though most people prefer to call me Li. I’ve been working in plastic material quality inspection for over 15 years. My daily job involves handling various plastic materials used to produce items that come into contact with food—from baby bottles to lunch boxes, and from water cups to disposable utensils. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10244.htmlAs frontline inspectors, we analyze these products inside and out. I’m also a mother, and because I work with plastics every day, I’m extra cautious when choosing daily-use items for my child and family. Today, I’d like to take this opportunity to have a thorough chat about the plastic products we use every day.

For baby products and daily-use water bottles, prioritize PPSU, Tritan™ (PCTG), or PP.

For microwave-safe lunch boxes, look for PP (No. 5).

Absolutely avoid:

- "No. 7" products with unclear labels.

- Items with noticeable pungent odors.

- Cheap disposable PS foam meal boxes.

Never reuse: PET (No. 1) beverage bottles.

Health is no small matter. Choosing and using plastic products wisely is the first line of defense we build for our families’ well-being. https://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10244.htmlI hope today’s insights help you make informed, safer choices out of love.
