Whether the cling film bought on September 1 can be heated by microwave ovens, and whether it can contact with foods with oils, consumers can see at a glance in the future. Starting from today, the new national version of “Plastic Self-Adhesive Film for Food Plastics” jointly issued by AQSIQ and the National Standards Commission will be officially implemented. This standard is a mandatory national standard, and cling film without warning signs is strictly prohibited from being put on the market.
It is reported that the scope of application of the new standard has expanded from the original PVC wrap film to the use of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) resin as the main raw material for food plastic wrap. The new national standard requires that the cling film should be marked with the nominal value of the net roll weight and the word “food use”. The PVC cling film should also be marked with the warning language “Can't touch the food with fat”, “Can not be heated by the microwave oven,” “No high temperature use”. Etc.; other types of cling film, such as can be used for microwave heating, should indicate "can be used in the microwave oven", heating method and the maximum temperature temperature, so that consumers can clearly understand when buying.

The reporter saw some supermarkets in the New District yesterday and found that most brands of new packaging products had already been on the market, but some of the fresh-keeping films sold were not marked with related words. “We are working on the preservation of the plastic wrap that does not indicate the warning. We will ensure that the plastic wrap without warning signs will stop selling on September 1.” The person in charge of the Tesco supermarket told reporters.

During the interview, some consumers stated that the scope of application of various plastic wraps was not clear. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau told reporters that some consumers have misunderstandings about cling film. In fact, the types of cling film are different, and the scope of application is also different. To recognize their “face” can be used correctly. Such as PVC film, can be used to package vegetables, can not be directly packaged meat, cooked food and fat foods, and not microwave heating, not high temperature use; PVDC film can be used to package cooked food, ham and so on.
