PE and PVDC fresh-keeping films can be used safely
the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China has officially stated that it is forbidden to directly package meat, cooked food and fatty food. PE and PVDC fresh-keeping films meet national standards and consumers can use them with confidence. However, some PVC fresh-keeping films mainly used for outer packaging contain ethylhexylamine (DEHA), which causes cancer to human body. Yesterday, AQSIQ announced the special inspection results of imported and domestic food preservative films
according to the preliminary investigation of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China, there are 47 domestic enterprises producing food preservative films. Among them, there are 6 enterprises producing PVC food preservative film, most of which are Sino foreign joint ventures or wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and the total annual output of PVC food preservative film is about 10000 tons. Among them, 10% are exported and 90% are sold all over the country
PE and PVDC can be used safely
liuzhaobin, spokesman of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China, said that the test results showed that the vinyl chloride monomer content of 44 samples tested was less than 1 mg/kg, all in line with the national standards and the requirements published by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) in 1991. PE and PVDC comply with national standards and are safe, so consumers can use them with confidence. But at the same time, it was found that some PVC fresh-keeping films that are mainly used for outsourcing, please take out the spare fuse and install it. They contain DEHA. When this kind of fresh-keeping film meets grease or high temperature (more than 100 ℃), the plasticizer is easy to release, which will affect health after entering the human body with food
Liu Zhaobin said that the AQSIQ officially decided to prohibit enterprises from selling PVC food preservative films containing DEHA or vinyl chloride monomer content exceeding the standard, and prohibit the direct packaging of meat, cooked food and fat food with PVC preservative filmsliyuanping, director of the food import and export safety bureau of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China, said that batch inspection will be carried out on imported and exported PVC food preservative films, and products containing DEHA plasticizer and vinyl chloride monomer content exceeding the standard shall not be imported or exported. At the same time, we will further conduct a comprehensive investigation and mandatory product quality inspection on the enterprises that produce food preservative films nationwide. If it is found that DEHA is used as a plasticizer to produce PVC food preservative film, it shall be ordered to stop production immediately, be sealed up on the spot, be ordered to stop ex factory sales, recall the ex factory product, and be severely punished according to law; If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to the judicial organ for criminal investigation according to law
in addition, the manufacturer of food preservative film shall indicate the material and scope of application of the product on the outer package of the product, and it is prohibited to sell any product that is not expressly stated as required. Those that have been sold shall be ordered to recall. The distribution enterprise should also conduct self-examination. If it does not indicate the words "DEHA excluded", or does not indicate that it can be heated with ink> microwave oven, it should stop selling and using
The plasticizer test method will be publishedLiu Zhaobin also said that AQSIQ has arranged with relevant departments the revision of China's current 25 hygienic standards for food packaging materials, and will speed up the progress and strive to complete all the revision work in a relatively short time. At the same time, the Chinese Academy of inspection and Quarantine has studied and formulated the detection method of plasticizer DEHA in food preservative film, which will be promulgated as a national standard in the near future
in addition, in consultation with relevant departments, import and export PVC food preservative films will be included in the catalogue of statutory inspection, compulsory inspection will be implemented, the HS code of PVC plastic products in contact with food will be refined, and safety and health inspection requirements will be increased

plasticizers should have use standards
for the AQSIQ to formulate new national standards, Dong Jinshi, deputy director of the China Packaging resources utilization Commission, said yesterday that the content of vinyl chloride monomer, the use requirements of plasticizers and fresh-keeping indicators should be specified in the standards. At present, PVC fresh-keeping film mainly refers to the "Hygienic standard for PVC molded products for food packaging", which is a general standard for PVC molded products for food packaging, not for PVC fresh-keeping film
in addition, Dong Jinshi also said that compared with PE and PVDC products, PVC fresh-keeping film has good transparency, is not easy to crack, and has good viscosity. He said that using PVC food preservative film, one person can pack more than 20 pieces of goods in one minute. At the same time, it can also be packed by machine, which is the reason why supermarkets are willing to use PVC preservative film in large quantities
"market"
some supermarkets uniformly change PE packaging of fresh-keeping film
yesterday, I visited Carrefour, Makrolon, Wumart and other supermarkets, and found that most of the household packaging fresh-keeping films sold by major supermarkets were produced by domestic manufacturers, and they all indicated on the label that the production material was non-toxic PE (polyethylene) without plasticizer. Carrefour's ink> the "clinlai fresh-keeping film" produced by a Sino Korean joint venture and the "Xubao fresh-keeping film" produced by a Japanese enterprise also clearly indicate on the packaging that the raw materials are PE or pvdc However, in the fresh food area of a supermarket, I found that the fresh-keeping film used to pack vegetables and meat products was not labeled with the brand. It is reported that the fresh-keeping film of vegetables, fruits and meat products in the fresh-keeping area of supermarkets does not rule out the possibility of using PVC fresh-keeping film. At present, there is no enterprise in China to produce PE fresh-keeping film for supermarket processing, and the PE fresh-keeping film on the market is basically for household use
"now you can buy things without fresh-keeping film or plastic bags. When you use them at home, you pay more attention than in the past. There is still a large market space for the development of the extruder industry." Customer Mr. Zhang said so. It is noted that in the bulk cooked food area of the supermarket, many consumers point to the cooked food in bulk and ask the staff to take it in fresh-keeping bags, weigh it and stick it on a label, but ignore the food that has been sealed with fresh-keeping film in the supermarket
a staff member of the fresh food department of lotus TongZhou store in Yichu said that this week, the supermarket received a notice from the headquarters to allow operators to have a wider range of use. All lotus in Yichu city began to replace the fresh-keeping film used in the supermarket with PE material

one look, two touch and three burn
relevant staff of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China reminded that there are generally three ways for families to buy safe PE fresh-keeping film: one "look"
the product package does not indicate that it is made of polyethylene (PE) fresh-keeping film. If PVC or material is not written, try not to buy it; 2. Touch. PE fresh-keeping film generally has poor viscosity and transparency, and it is easy to open by rubbing with hands; Three "burning". After PE fresh-keeping film is ignited by fire, the flame is yellow, and it will not go out when leaving the fire source. There is oil dripping phenomenon. In the later stage, the steel plant operation may become more cautious and there is no pungent odor
