The relevant person in charge of the Consumer Association said that some stall owners in the temple fair in order to avoid the trouble of cleaning and disinfection, will directly set plastic bags on the bowl to dress food. Such a practice seems to be clean, but because the temple fair used to set the bowl or set of plates of plastic bags mostly belong to polyvinyl chloride plastic bags, such plastic bags contain a large number of stabilizer, plasticizer, this chemical substances in the heat or contact with oil food will quickly ooze and migrate to the food, if absorbed by the human body will cause carcinogenic harm to the body.
