Shao Xiansheng in foshan, guangdong moon cake production. According to him, the reason why the mooncake packaging box gives off a pungent taste is mainly because of the glue that sticks to the box. "These glues contain toxic toluene chemicals," Mr. Shao said. "Some of the beautiful boxes are wrapped in layers after layers, and glue is used between each layer. Although the factory will air the smell away later, the toxicity of the glue still remains on the box.

It is understood that the harm of toluene to the human body includes irritation to the skin and mucous membranes, and anesthetic effect on the central nervous system. If a high concentration is inhaled in a short period of time, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms can occur.

Dong Jinshi, secretary general of the International Food Packaging Association, pointed out that many "three no" packaging boxes are prolific since small workshop processing points, and the quality is worrying; There are some small processing plants in the production process using fluorescent whitening agents to improve the whiteness of paper. It is understood that the regular food packaging box should be marked with the name of the manufacturer, address and telephone.

price is only three or four cents, lack of material, manufacturers and other product information of cheap "three no" moon cake recently in online sales hot.

Reporter saw in an online shop in Fujian, a golden box price of 3.6 yuan 100, but the product does not print the information of the manufacturer, there is no material annotation. A mooncake tray for 10 sets of 5 yuan sold 588 pieces in 30 days, but there was also no material information. An online store in Jinan, Shandong province, sells PVC mooncake trays even cheaper at 15 yuan for 500 pieces, with an average price of 3 cents per set.

For the cheap packaging sold online, Dong Jinshi, secretary-general of the International Food Packaging Association, said that some of the gold and silver mooncake trays are made using recycled plastic to add gold powder and silver powder. These recycled plastics come from complex sources and are prone to contain heavy metals or other toxic substances. "Generally speaking, colored mooncake trays have more or less added some other elements in the making process, which is not safe. Only the transparent or white ones are not made of recycled plastic, which is relatively safe."

Dong Jinshi said that the plastic packaging of mooncakes is divided into PP, PS, PVC plastic, etc., but the use of PVC plastic to make mooncake brackets may be harmful to health because of the plasticizer.

Dong Jinshi suggested consumers, you can put the mooncake tray to strong light or sunlight for inspection, if there are obvious impurities in the mooncake tray, black spots or uneven color may be recycled plastic, smell odor may also be a stroke.
