How To Choose Paper Cups

1. Look: When selecting disposable paper cups, don't just look at whether the cup color is white or not. Don't think that the whiter the color, the more hygienic it is. Some paper cup manufacturers add a large amount of fluorescent whitening agents to make the cup look whiter. Once these harmful substances enter the human body, they can become potential carcinogens. Experts suggest that citizens should take a photo under a lamp when choosing paper cups. If the paper cup appears blue under a fluorescent lamp, it indicates that the fluorescent agent exceeds the standard, and consumers should use it with caution.
2. Pinch: The cup body is soft and not firm, be careful of water leakage. In addition, it is necessary to choose paper cups with thick and firm walls. Paper cups with low body hardness are very soft to grip, and when poured into water or beverages, they will deform severely when held, and may even be difficult to hold, affecting their use. Experts point out that high-quality paper cups can generally hold water for 72 hours without leaking, while low-quality ones will leak in half an hour.
3. Smell: The color of the cup wall is fancy, be careful of ink poisoning. Quality supervision experts point out that paper cups are mostly stacked together. If they are damp or contaminated, mold will inevitably form, so damp paper cups must not be used. In addition, some paper cups will be printed with colorful patterns and words. When the paper cups are stacked together, the ink on the outside of the paper cups will inevitably affect the inner layer of the paper cups it wraps around. The ink contains benzene and toluene, which are harmful to health. Therefore, it is best to purchase paper cups with no ink on the outer layer or less printing.
4. To distinguish between cold and hot cups, each has its own function. Experts have pointed out that disposable paper cups used in daily life can generally be divided into two types: cold and hot cups, each with its own function. Once they are misaligned, it may have an impact on consumer health.
