Chopsticks must be replaced after more than half a year

In a few days, it is the Spring Festival. China has a custom of welcoming the old, and clothes, toothbrushes, etc. have to be renewed. Many people know that toothbrushes should be replaced regularly, but it is common to use a pair of chopsticks for a few years. It is understood that many families have used a pair of chopsticks for a short period of one or two years, and the length is far more than that. They generally believe that there is no need to change chopsticks if they are not bad, but experts say that chopsticks should not be used for more than half a year, otherwise it may cause health problems.

In addition to chopsticks, what are the shelf life of household items that are easily overlooked? What impact will the daily necessities of the daily necessities be? What issues should I pay attention to when purchasing?

The reporter investigated a large number of daily necessities and unqualified shelf life. Most of the people were overdue for several days. The reporter visited dozens of supermarkets in Fuzhou, and found that most of the chopsticks did not indicate the shelf life. Only a few of them were marked with a shelf life.

During the visit, the reporter interviewed 20 consumers randomly, and more than 80% of the respondents said that they had never heard of the shelf life of chopsticks. Most people said that they only changed their chopsticks once a year, and they all changed during the Chinese New Year, mainly to resign the old and welcome the new. Some respondents even said that it is not clear how often to change chopsticks, only when chopsticks are broken or moldy.

During the interview, only a very small number of interviewees said that they changed their chopsticks once a month, mainly because they were worried about the health effects of long mites.

Experts say that 1 color changes, chopsticks need to be replaced. "The investigation found that when the ordinary chopsticks are used within 3-6 months, their color will become darker or lighter with time and frequency of use. In addition, due to the use The frequency causes the edible paint on the surface of the chopsticks to be worn out.” According to Ling Meiying, an engineer from the Quality Supervision Bureau of the Quality Supervision Bureau of the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, as long as the chopsticks change compared with the purchase, especially the color, it needs to be replaced immediately.

According to reports, the color of the chopsticks changes, indicating that the nature of the material itself must change. The factors that cause color change are usually caused by the adhesion of food, detergent and air, and residues in the dining cabinet during use. "I personally think that the long-term accumulation of bacteria is also the main factor in the color change." Ling Meiying said.

2 smell and smell to see if the chopsticks expired expert advice, everyone when using chopsticks, every day to observe, whether the surface of the chopsticks attached to spots, especially mildew. "Bamboo products and wood products are the favorite living environment for mildew, and as long as the environment is not dry, the moisture content of the material itself reaches a certain level, it only takes one day to be produced." Ling Meiying believes that once the chopsticks are found Mildew spots must not be used for the first time.

In this regard, Fujian Provincial Elderly Hospital (Fujian Provincial Hospital North Hospital) Department of Gastroenterology, Zeng Qingxin also said that if there are non-bamboo or wood spots on the chopsticks, it means that the chopsticks may have been moldy and can not continue to use; chopsticks appear If it is wet or bends or deforms, it means that it has been wet or left for too long. It may have passed the shelf life. If you smell it, if it has obvious acidity, it will be contaminated or expired. It can't be used anymore.

3 Excessive use of chopsticks can induce liver cancer Zeng Qingxin said that disposable chopsticks used in overdose will breed various molds, and lighter ones may cause digestive diseases such as infectious diarrhea and vomiting. Severely moldy chopsticks will breed "aflatoxin", a substance that has been widely recognized to induce liver cancer.

“Overdue use of household chopsticks has a particularly high water content.” Zeng Qingxin said that because household chopsticks are frequently used and washed with water for a long time, they are easy to become hotbeds for bacterial growth, such as yellow grape, E. coli, etc. Long-term placement of chopsticks in the cabinet may increase the chances of chopsticks deterioration by more than five times.

4 In order to avoid the breeding of mold chopsticks, it needs to be dried and then stored. It is understood that the chopsticks used in ordinary households are mainly bamboo and wood, and very few are metal and other materials. However, the use of these two materials is relatively special, but everyone is usually used to cleaning chopsticks and then placed in chopsticks or cabinets.

"This kind of operation is first of all with misunderstandings. Because the chopsticks are not completely dried, the humidity is very high, which makes them prone to mold, which has an impact on health." Ling Meiying said that when using chopsticks, it must be guaranteed. Chopsticks are placed or stored dry, leaving no mold breeding environment possible.

Ling Meiying suggested that the chopsticks should be put into boiling water for half an hour every week, and then placed in the air to dry and then use, which can achieve the disinfection effect, and can effectively and conveniently remove the mold in the chopsticks.

5 ceramic products appear cracks, please do not continue to use In addition, ceramic products with chopsticks partner, the shelf life is different. "It is understood that ceramic products are usually made from raw material clay. In order to be able to be fired into a shape of a vessel, it is usually necessary to add some additives to the clay." Ling Meiying said that these additives are in the clay, when the product is made. After the completion, the manufacturer will brush a layer of material such as edible paint on the surface of the product for safe use.

Ling Meiying introduced that from the current ceramic products sold in the market, it is mainly divided into glazed and unglazed. “Unglazed products are safer than glazed products.” Ling Meiying said that although glazed products are better than aesthetically, they are better than unglazed products. But the glaze itself also carries some metal elements, and long-term exposure has some effect on the body.

“Because the pottery making process has some additives added, it is not necessary to use cracks when the ceramic products are cracked.” Ling Meiying said that the cracked products were protected when the protective edible paint was destroyed. The additives inside may pass through the crack and enter the human body.

Finally, Ling Meiying reminded that before using ceramic products, it is recommended to soak for one day with vinegar to make the glaze more fixed and not fall off. It is also recommended to store in a dry state.
