reporter visited Ji'nan's major supermarkets today. At present, the market on the sale of edible oil packaging is mostly plastic, only part of the brand is glass bottles and iron cans. "Edible oil has only glass bottles such as hardcover or olive oil." A supermarket salesman of East culture road said, "edible oil has been used in plastic barrels all the time, these are safety materials, and there is no plasticizer." "Plasticizers are indeed soluble in alcohol and oil." Professor Jiang of the Shandong Light Industries College said, "the general plasticizer is either added to the food illegally or transferred from a plastic container to a package. If you appear like plasticizer in cooking oil, it mainly comes from unqualified plastic packaging. Now the edible oil sold on the market is PET (polybutylene terephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), all of which are approved by the country and are not containing plasticizers. In fact, there is a very simple method, the public in the selection of edible oil, just look at the bottom of the logo can be, LDPE (low density polyethylene), PET (Polyterephthalate ester), PP (polypropylene), these do not contain plasticizers, the public can rest assured to buy. "The source of the plasticizer that is closely related to the public has a very important point, and many people may not care about it, that is, the plastic bags for breakfast." Professor Chiang said many people like to use plastic bags to pack hot oil, oil cakes and so on. Once the plastic bags are exposed to high temperature oil, they will release the plasticizer to pollute food. In the case of Sheng soya bean milk, plastic bags, hot soy milk will also transfer plastic plasticizers in plastic bags. It is suggested that people use breakfast boxes or plates to buy breakfast in order to reduce the harm of plasticizers.
