The pace of life nowadays is relatively fast. We rarely have time to finish our meal in the store. Most of the time, we need to choose to take away or order takeaway. In this case, the merchant will usually equip us with disposable wooden tableware to use. So is disposable wooden tableware good?
Wood is an absorbent, porous material, soaked in moisture and bacteria from food and water. For this reason, it has a certain impact on the edible safety of wooden tableware and is not suitable for long-term use.
Wooden tableware is made of certain types of wood, such as cedar or cypress, which may contaminate food with strong odors and oleoresin. Wooden tableware is a by-product of wood construction, imported wood or recycled wood may be exposed to chemicals during the washing or manufacturing process.
Most wooden tableware is carefully polished with sandpaper and the wood is dried. Fragments or cracks in the process will seep into harmful substances (such as frosted pieces). If stored or handled improperly, there are hidden dangers, but compared to silver and plastic products, it is still safer.
Wooden tableware is a natural product, made from a rich, renewable resource, wood, which is 100% biodegradable.
Generally speaking, disposable wooden tableware and disposable paper bowl are safer.
