Will disposable soup cups expire?

Although the disposable soup cup is not food, it also has a shelf life. 

For PE coated disposable soup cups, under good store condition, it is 2 - 3 years.

For PLA coated disposable soup cups, under good store condition, it is only 3-6 months.

Once you do not use it within the shelf life, the cup will expire at this time. It is recommended not to use the expired cup, because if the paper cup is stored for too long, It is easy to get damp and moldy, causing the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can cause respiratory diseases.
