Experts point out that tableware, as tools directly in contact with food, must undergo strict cleaning and disinfection. Otherwise, it could directly affect consumer health. If consumers use unqualified or unsanitary tableware, it can easily lead to health issues.
According to the Food Safety Law, the food packaging materials, containers, etc., used by operators must comply with relevant regulations. Tableware, utensils, and other containers directly used for storing food before consumption must be cleaned and disinfected. When selling unpackaged food for direct consumption, non-toxic, clean containers, vending tools, and equipment must be used.
