Many office workers resolve feeding problems by taking meals, often exposed to plastic parts during use.
First, some consumers like to use lightweight plastic lunch boxes, two are mostly plastic, three is that there are mostly plastic, these plastic parts are hot, hot soup Is there any security problem?
In August 2020, “consumers report” purchased from the market.
Lock, Supor, Antarctic, Denager, Tailor High, Netease is selection, Taobao Heart, IKEA, famous master, China Resources Wanjia, NOME
The 11 models are known as the lunch box that can be heated in the microwave oven, sent to third-party authority testing agencies for testing.
Test brand
Test indicator
Plasticizer, total mobility, volatile compound
Test Results
1, recommended
Magic, Netease is strict
Waiting for 2 lunch boxes, CCR scores are as high as 9.5, and the plasticizers, total mobility, low volatile compounds are low, consumers can use it. In these 2 lunch boxes, the thermos is a well-known insulation cup, the braised cup brand, the price is more expensive, and NetEase is more cost-effective.
2, not recommended
Locks, China Resources Wanjia
Wait 2 lunch boxes. Locks and buckle detects trace plasticizers, and the sealed rubber ring of China Resources Wanjia lunch box is high.
Plasticizer: 2 test, the list of music buckles
Most lunch boxes are usually plastic, silicone materials, sometimes put foods such as oil, sugar, if the heating of the microwave, is released into the food, may be harmful to the human body.
In March 2013, the Hong Kong Consumer Council was tested on 25 models that heated in the microwave oven. It shows that 4 plasticizers in the box or box are detected, and the content is 0.05mg / kg. ~ 5mg / kg between.
Plasticizer, also called a plasticizer, which can increase the flexibility, ductility, elasticity and softness of plastic after adding plastic. International cancer tissue will list the plasticizer as 2B to group carcinogens, which may cause cancer to human beings, and long-term consumption may cause abnormal reproductive system, and even the risk of deformity and cancer.
The results show that 11 lunch boxes,
Lock, Thaifao
The two lips of the lid of 2 lips were detected with a micro-plasticizer, and the content was 13 mg / kg, 9 mg / kg, and the remaining 9 were not detected.
Most of the sealing lids of the shopping bags on the market are PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) materials. In principle, there is generally no additional plasticizer in the production process.
GB 9685-2016 “Safety National Standard Food Contact Materials and Additive Additives for Products” stipulate that the DBP limit in the PVC plastic material is 5%, and there is no requirements for PE materials. EU food contact plastic regulations (EU) NO 102011 stipulates that PE, PP material is 0.05%, DEHP, BBP, DINP and DIDP limit are 0.1%.
Locks, Caps of Thaifan lips are below the above standards or regulations, and have not exceed standard limits.
Total migration: IKEA, Taobao heart, NOME detection
Although there are a variety of materials on the market, the boxes usually use plastics, glass or stainless steel, but the lid is generally plastic.
At present, the national quality and safety of plastics is strictly controlled, GB 4806.7-2016 stipulates that the total migration of plastic in food contact should be ≤10 mg / dm2.
When the plastic surface of the lunch box is exposed to different foods with high temperatures, acidity, oily, potentially toxic and hazardous substances, may precipitate and migrate to food. These substances enter the human body, harmful to health, and will also directly affect the color, fragrance, taste of the food.
The results show that,
Taobao heart, IKEA, NOME
The lids of 3 lunch boxes are detected, especially
IKEA, NOME
The total migration of the lid is close to half of the limit.
The total migration of these three lunch boxes is within security, not exceeding the national standard.
Volatile compound: 7 sealed rubber circles have risks, do not put the lid into the microwave
There is generally a circle of silicone rubber, which may have a sealed silicone rubber. Some processing auxiliaries may remain during silicone rubber production, which typically contains a certain toxicity, and can volatate solvents, additives, and polymers at high temperatures 200 ° C. Silicone oil, other substances such as acetone, butanone, anhydrous ethanol, etc. A substance which is less than 200 ° C under these atmospheric pressure is collectively referred to as a volatile compound.
If the non-food-grade ordinary silicone rubber is used, the harmful substance may be preciphered into the food, affecting the health.
German food and daily necessities, LFGB, French food contact material decree 25/11/1992 has made the silicone rubber products exposed to food, and the volatile compound content is not higher than 0.5%.
The result is displayed, only
Thaifao, music buckle, IKEA
The volatile compounds of the three lunch boxes are less than or equal to 0.5%, and the remaining 8 lunch boxes have exceeded 0.5%, especially
Vanguard
The lid of the lid of the 1 lunch box was detected by a volatile compound content of 1.1%, and the exceeding limit requirements were exceeded.
At present, national standards have not stipulated in this regard, only in children’s supplies such as pacifiers, pacifiers, children’s tableware. But in more continent in Europe, there are provisions of the project. The volatile compound is exceeded, and it has become the main reason for the contact of the contained silicone rubber and silicone products that have been transferred to the European food.
After seeing the results, this magazine will understand the various enterprises, the Magic (China) Home Products Co., Ltd. replies to this magazine, the silicone rubber used by the thermist is using high-quality materials, considering that this product is sold in China, before the listing Three-party GB 4806.11-2016 “Food Safety National Standard Food Contact Rubber Materials and Products” test and certification did not implement the German food and daily necessities of LFGB and French food contact materials 1/11/1992. The specific reason is still in the investigation, because in line with the Chinese national standard GB 4806.11-2016, please use it with confidence.
Since the national standard does not stipulate that this indicator is only for consumers, considering that the lunch box needs to put into the microwave, heat the heat soup and other foods, this magazine recommends that domestic merchants pay attention to the indicator,
In fact, as long as the supplier production process increases a high temperature vulcanization process, it can reduce the material, greatly improve the safety of the sealing film.
“Consumer Report” purchase suggestion
1. Do not put the metal lunch box such as stainless steel kitchen into the microwave oven;
2. When heating with a microwave, do not cover the plastic lid of lunch boxes, and the newly bought lunch box remembers the cleaning gum and other parts;
3. Do not encourage the use of plastic lunch boxes to heat or load the water. If you must use a plastic lunch box, it is recommended to use a PP material plastic lunch box. Each plastic material has its heat resistance, the most heat-resistant polypropylene (PP) can withstand 140 ° C, followed by polyethylene (PE) energy resistance 110 ° C, while polystyrene (PS) can only heat To 90 ° C.
4. It is recommended to use a lunch box of heat-resistant glass, namely borosilicate glass (or high boricon glass). Borosilicate glass effectively reduces the expansion coefficient of the glass, effectively improves light transmission, intensity, softening point temperature, thermal conductivity, but the disadvantage is to break, heavier.
