Yesterday, the International Food Packaging Association held a press conference and released three investigation reports on food-grade plastic wrap, disposable plastic knives, forks, spoons, straws, and stainless steel catering products.

The reports show that an investigation covering five chain supermarkets and six major wholesale markets in Beijing found that disposable plastic cutlery sold on the market varies greatly in labeling information, with some products having no labels at all.These plastic products contain large amounts of colorants. The deeper and brighter the color, the lower the price, and the less labeling information provided.Tests on these products have detected excessive heavy metals. The problem of brightly colored products being made from industrial raw materials is extremely serious.

Regarding plastic food containers, 21 out of the 24 tested batches met national standards, representing a significant improvement compared with last year. However, sales of disposable foamed plastic tableware still persist in the market.

As for plastic wrap, the reports indicate that all plastic wrap sold in large supermarkets is made of PE material and fully compliant with regulations. Nevertheless, large quantities of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic wrap are still sold in wholesale markets. PVC packaging materials were also found being used for cooked food packaging.
