Garbage Bags and food bags used in supermarkets belong to plastic bags, and there seems to be no obvious difference. However, if they are mixed and food is packed in garbage bags, it may lead to very serious consequences.

Food Contact Bag
It is the kind used in supermarkets. Most of them are colorless and transparent. This kind of Food Bag is made of a single plastic variety, generally polyethylene or polypropylene, which is colorless, tasteless and non-toxic. Therefore, people often use it to contain hot food, such as soybean milk, mutton soup, etc. It should be said that the food bag must be made of single plastic and must not be mixed with other types. Even if polyethylene is mixed with polypropylene, it is difficult to make the bag.

Trash Bags
Because its wall is very thick, it can hold any material. Therefore, garbage bags not only contain polyethylene, polypropylene, but also contain PVC, styrene, formaldehyde, etc., and even contain all harmful residues in life.
According to the production observation experience, the most mixed material in the garbage bag is PVC, because additives and plasticizers have been used in the plastic products of PVC in the early stage, which will make the chemical properties of PVC more unstable when exposed to heat. In other words, the chlorine in the garbage bag and the already toxic additives will be released in the air when heated.

If we mix them, it will cause serious harm to our bodies. Therefore, we should know more about their differences in ordinary times, and do not mix them!
