The boss said, "Some of these disposable chopsticks are delivered to your door. When the disposable chopsticks are used up, someone will send them immediately. Of course, we can also buy them at the market."
The use of disposable chopsticks in this store is inconsistent with the voice of the society and even the opinions of government departments.
In recent years, the call for reducing the use of disposable chopsticks has continued. In 2010, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the State Administration of Taxation, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the State Forestry Administration, and the State Food and Drug Administration jointly issued the "On One-Use Reduction in the Catering and Hotel Industry. The Notice on Chopsticks Work "clearly requires the catering and restaurant industry to reduce the use of disposable chopsticks.
In this context, is the use of disposable chopsticks the same as that of the braised meat shop? What caused the "reduced use of disposable chopsticks" initiative to be difficult to implement? The reporter launched an investigation.
Heavy use of roadside shops
Tianyi Luhai Residential District, Jizhou District, Tianjin is not small, and there are a dozen roadside restaurants nearby. According to rough statistics, the reporter found that there are 4 restaurants that use about 5 bags of disposable chopsticks per day, and each bag has 50 pairs of disposable chopsticks.
The owners of several other restaurants told reporters that they use 1 to 2 disposable chopsticks per week, and how much depends on the number of passengers. During a survey in a bun shop, the reporter asked the owner about how many pairs of chopsticks there were. The owner took out a plastic woven bag about 50 cm in length and about 20 cm in diameter from below the counter. 18 bags, "said the owner." The price depends on the quality of the chopsticks. A good piece costs more than 60 yuan and a cheaper 40 yuan. "
During the investigation, the reporter found that most restaurants did not place disposable chopsticks directly on the dining table, but placed them on the cashier counter. There were also restaurants that did not place disposable chopsticks. They would only show them when customers came to ask for disposable chopsticks.
However, in some barbecue shops on both sides of West Street, Yanshan Street, Jizhou District, as soon as the customers took their seats, the waiter brought up tableware and disposable tableware in plastic bags. When asked about the number of disposable chopsticks used, the owner of a barbecue restaurant said: "Although it is a barbecue restaurant, there are some dishes that require chopsticks, such as fried snails, so there is no specific statistics. Generally, a large bag a day More than 500 pairs. "
In addition, the reporter also found that this barbecue restaurant does not have chopsticks that can be reused. When the reporter asked if there were any household chopsticks, the boss said: "Generally there is no preparation, they are disposable, which is more hygienic and convenient."
Different consumer attitudes
The reporter observed that there are dozens of barbecue restaurants on both sides of the Yanshan West Street. Basically, disposable chopsticks are used. Each barbecue restaurant has a lot of passenger traffic. It is basically full from evening to 12 o'clock in the evening.
In a shop called "Barbecue BBQ", the reporter asked a couple who was dining about their attitude towards disposable chopsticks. Both said they generally use reusable chopsticks in sterilizers, but barbecue shops generally don't provide them. "Disposable chopsticks are short and uncomfortable to use, or are used to household chopsticks."
In this barbecue restaurant, there are still many customers who choose to take away. When the order is ready, these customers take away a few pairs of disposable chopsticks from the counter, and some of them take away one. When the reporter quickly caught up with a customer and asked why, a customer named Li said: "There are a lot of poor quality disposable chopsticks, and some of them can only be used. Take a few more to ensure a pair It ’s good. In addition, a few extra pairs of preparations can also prevent you from forgetting to bring disposable chopsticks next time. "
"As long as the restaurant has sterilized chopsticks, I will not use disposable chopsticks. Some disposable chopsticks are of poor quality, and they will stick in your hands when you remove the bag, and you will have mouths when eating. It is very uncomfortable to use such chopsticks. Once I was in a restaurant Four or five pairs of disposable chopsticks are broken, "said Ms. Wu, who ate at the restaurant.
Ms. Wu told reporters that sometimes restaurants did not prepare chopsticks for disinfection at all. She was packing or ordering takeaway, and then used her own chopsticks at home.
Talking about the reason, Ms. Wu said, "The most important thing is that I think that disposable chopsticks use chemicals when making them. Don't look at it, it looks quite white. I am worried that some restaurants may recycle old chopsticks for re-production and packaging. It ’s very simple and I ca n’t see it again. I saw the news that the disposable chopsticks were soaked in boiling water, the water turned yellow in a while, and the pungent taste made me worry. I did n’t know about disposable chopsticks. How does it work? So, I basically do n’t use disposable chopsticks when eating out, but my classmates use it every time. She feels that the chopsticks in the restaurant and cafeteria are not cleaned. This is indeed the case. Even when the chopstick tube is in use and it is not cleaned for a long time, I do not want to use it. Some restaurants do not have a disinfection machine. It is unhygienic to put the chopsticks directly in a plastic box. "
Hidden dangers in quality and safety
Due to the huge market demand, especially the booming development of the takeaway industry in recent years, various types of disposable tableware manufacturers with different characteristics have been spawned, and chaotic phenomena such as crude manufacturing and regional monopolies are frequent.
During the visit, most merchants stated that they did not know where the disposable chopsticks they purchased were produced. They could only know the approximate address from the outer packaging, and they were usually delivered by special merchants. Some shop owners said that they would occasionally take a look at the appearance of chopsticks, and most said they would receive goods directly without paying attention to information such as the date of production of chopsticks.
There are also some merchants who wholesale disposable chopsticks to the wholesale market but rarely choose good quality.
The reporter learned from a staff member of the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau of Jizhou District, Tianjin that the shelf life of sterilized disposable chopsticks is up to 4 months, but many merchants do not understand this.
The staff member also told reporters that consumers need to be more careful when using disposable chopsticks. Pay attention to whether there is the manufacturer's name, trademark and contact information on the outer packaging. Those disposable chopsticks that only indicate "high-temperature disinfection" Is not credible. In use, consumers are best to take it and smell it first. If there is a sour odor, it may contain sulfur dioxide, it is best not to use it. If conditions permit, consumers can soak disposable chopsticks in warm water for a few seconds before meals. If time is sufficient, they can soak for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the residual sulfur dioxide in disposable chopsticks. In addition, do not immerse disposable chopsticks in hot soup or hot porridge for a long time during meals, as this will accelerate the decomposition of sulfur dioxide.
