Cling film, a food packaging material commonly used in life, is popular with consumers because of its ease of use. However, CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" recently revealed that the banned toxic plasticizers in the country may be hidden in plastic wrap and flow to the people's table. So, is the plastic wrap toxic? Will the following small series introduce you to the plastic wrap?
1. Is the plastic wrap toxic?
     The plastic wrap used to wrap food in supermarkets may also be made of polyvinyl chloride. Experiments have shown that this cling film contains a plasticizer called ethylhexylamine to increase its adhesion. The plasticizer has a great destructive effect on the human endocrine system and can disturb the hormone metabolism of the human body. This chemical is very easy to penetrate into food, especially high-fat foods, and the cooked food in the supermarket is mostly high-fat food. After a long period of wrapping, the oil in the food can easily dissolve the harmful substances in the plastic wrap, which will affect human health after eating. Governments such as South Korea have begun to ban the use of such plastic wrap.
How to use plastic wrap correctly
     The nutritionist reminds consumers that the food can be taken by the following methods: After going home, the plastic wrap is torn off, the food is packaged in a food storage bag, and then placed in the refrigerator. Food can also be placed in a covered glass or ceramic crisper. If it is a container without a cover, when covering the plastic wrap, try not to overfill the food to prevent direct contact with the wrap. If you are still worried about contamination, you can remove the surface that has been exposed to the plastic wrap, thus reducing the harmful substances. It is best to use a glass or ceramic storage box, followed by a plastic storage box made of PP material, and finally a plastic wrap.
     Warm reminder: When the dish is still hot, don't cover the plastic wrap, because it will increase the loss of vitamins in the dish. It is best to wait until the dish is completely cooled before covering the plastic wrap.
Precautions for using microwave oven wrap
1. When heating oily food, keep the plastic wrap and food in isolation, and do not let the two directly touch. Because the food is heated, the food oil may reach a very high temperature, causing the wrap to break and stick to the food.
2, when heating food should be covered with plastic wrap, then use a toothpick and other needles on the plastic wrap several holes, in order to facilitate the evaporation of water, to prevent the plastic film blasting due to gas expansion.
3. The highest heat-resistant temperature marked by each brand of plastic wrap is different, some are about 10 °C, and the temperature in the microwave oven is generally about 110 °C. When it takes a long time to heat, you can choose heat resistance. Higher cling film.
