Bamboo, stainless steel, wood, melamine chopsticks, which is safer?

Chopsticks, we have to say, are the most important basic tableware in our life. We need chopsticks when we eat noodles when we eat rice, and when we eat vegetables, we also need chopsticks. As a kind of East and West so close to our lives, its safety is more worthy of our attention.
Moreover, chopsticks on the market are made of various materials, so which one is more reliable + safe? Choose chopsticks, you should pay attention to these
The "safety problem" of chopsticks deserves your attention: it was found in a spot check conducted by the quality inspection, food and drug safety assessment center of China Federation of quality inspection that about 60% of chopsticks used by families actually have the problem of Escherichia coli exceeding the standard.
Although E.coli is a relatively normal flora in our body, the emergence of Pathogenic E.coli may increase the risk of food poisoning in our body, and even threaten our life and health in serious cases
Bamboo chopsticks, wooden chopsticks: bamboo chopsticks, wooden chopsticks, are the two most common in life
Non-toxic and harmless, very environmentally friendly and relatively cheap
Good quality bamboo chopsticks will not deform in case of high temperature
However, it should be noted that bamboo chopsticks and wooden chopsticks should be disinfected when they are used. After 3-6 months of use, they should be replaced as soon as possible. For one thing, if they are used for a long time, there may be bacteria accumulation. For another, the lacquer that the manufacturer applied to prolong the service life may fall off and be damaged. Of course, there may also be some microorganisms left.
Therefore, before eating, we should carefully observe if there is a spot on the surface of chopsticks, which is very likely to breed "aflatoxin". It is better to replace it quickly.
If the chopsticks smell sour, they can't be used anymore.
Stainless steel chopsticks: at present, stainless steel chopsticks are also good and bad. If the quality is not up to standard, it is likely to lead to the precipitation of heavy metals.
When choosing stainless steel chopsticks, it is still necessary to see if they are food-grade stainless steel.
If you choose imported chopsticks, do not forget to confirm with the relevant businesses. The products you choose have the certificate of conformity issued by the inspection and quarantine department. Do not blindly superstitious about the imported products, so as to bring about potential safety risks to your health.
There are so many kinds of chopsticks on the market. How to choose them? It is recommended to use bamboo chopsticks: the use rate of bamboo chopsticks is relatively large; the price is relatively moderate, the thermal conductivity is poor and the use is relatively convenient; the surface of bamboo is relatively smooth, and it is not easy to breed bacteria and insects.
It's not only healthy but also relatively safe. It's also very affordable. It's a good choice.
Safety considerations recommend metal chopsticks: for most people's metal chopsticks, such as "stainless steel chopsticks", they are durable and easy to clean, generally not easy to wear and tear, and also not easy to breed bacteria, but their disadvantages are relatively heavy and easy to slide, not easy to pick up, but from a safety point of view, it is recommended that you can use to
But from many aspects of common analysis, we do not recommend you to use plastic chopsticks in our life.
Three phenomena tell you that it's time to change chopsticks: 1. Discoloration and mildew of chopsticks: usually, after 3-6 months of use, the color of chopsticks head will become darker, which is mainly due to the color change caused by bacteria accumulation.
If such chopsticks are used for a long time, it may lead to infectious diarrhea, vomiting, and other digestive system diseases, and may breed bacteria such as aflatoxin.
Expert's suggestion: we should carefully observe whether there are spots on the surface of chopsticks, especially if there are mildew spots
If there are spots on chopsticks that are not bamboo or wood, it is likely that they have become moldy and deteriorated, so they should be replaced in time.
Scratches and wear of chopsticks: whether it is bamboo chopsticks or wood chopsticks, when they are produced, the manufacturer usually applies a layer of edible paint on the surface of chopsticks, which is called lacquer, so as to extend the service life of chopsticks.
However, chopsticks are often scrubbed in the process of use, which is very easy to cause the surface of the lacquer damaged or fall off, resulting in microbial residues and breeding.
Experts' advice: if chopsticks are found to be scratched, worn or deformed, they should be replaced immediately
Chopsticks are deformed and give off certain peculiar smells: when chopsticks are bent, deformed and other related phenomena, they look very wet or smell quite sour, which are actually signs of pollution or expiration, so they should be stopped immediately.
Chopsticks, after all, are the most basic living things in the family. Although there is no big problem in the Internet, small problems need to be noticed by every friend.
A safe choice, regular replacement, reliable cleaning, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages; I hope that the chopsticks you use are "safe and without threat"
