The napkin with deinking agent, talcum powder and fluorescent whitening agent broke when it stuck to water, which aroused strong concern after being exposed by CCTV 3.15 evening party. Although the merchants in the wholesale market are very cautious about the customers who buy napkins, it is still easy to see inferior napkins in some small restaurants. According to the survey of International Food Packaging Association, disposable paper cups, like napkins, have the problems of adding waste paper as raw material and fluorescent whitening agent.
The International Food Packaging Association has released an investigation report on disposable paper cups in some supermarkets and wholesale markets. It says that some paper cups sold in the farmers' markets are yellowish and dark, but the patterns are bright. They are likely to be made of waste paper and printed with benzene ink. Some products are very white, and fluorescent whitening agents may be added in the production process There are also a few dealers who openly sell paper cups without QS production license www.zbcup.com . "There are a lot of fluorescent highlights at the bottom of some paper cups, which may be due to the artificial addition of fluorescent whitening agents that can treat cancer. After the cup is filled with water, it becomes soft, and one end of the cup is seriously deformed, almost unable to be lifted. According to the national regulations, recycled paper or recycled paper can not be used in the production of napkin. At present, talcum powder and fluorescent whitening agent are not prohibited in the national standards for toilet paper or napkin, while food packaging paper is explicitly prohibited. However, napkin is not included in the category of food paper, and QS access system is not implemented, which makes the standardized use of napkin a blind area for supervision. Although QS admittance system has been implemented for disposable paper cups, only recommended industry standards have been implemented at present, which leads to a mixed market of disposable paper cups.
