Precautions for using disposable soup cups

1. The inferior paper cups use recycled polyethylene, which will undergo cracking changes during the reprocessing process, resulting in many harmful compounds. Choosing a food grade PE coated paper cups is important. Almost every family and unit will prepare disposable toilet paper cups. Once used by one person, throw away after use, which is hygienic and convenient.

2. In the past, the wax-coated paper cup was the most used. It was soaked in wax. It can only be used for cold drinks, not oily things, because oil can dissolve wax. Wax melts at around 40°C, and wax contains carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Now the most commonly used is a paper-plastic cup, which is a layer of paper on the outside and a layer of coated paper on the inside, which is an inner polyethylene plastic film. Although the outer layer is paper, the inner layer of plastic film is in contact with the food, so it is controversial whether this cup is defined as a paper cup or a plastic cup. In terms of testing, both paper and plastic quality are tested. Without wax, people may feel safe in paper-plastic cups. In fact, it has the most risk factors.

3. Generally, there are stalls in the market that sell pastry soup in paper cups. However, some experts say that the maximum heat resistance that paper cups can withstand is only 100 degrees, which can never withstand high temperature baking in the oven. Drinking this kind of pastry soup baked in paper cups will drink the plastic poison and cause a burden on the liver and kidneys.
