Is the coating of non -stick pan toxic?Will aluminum pots be Alzheimer's?Is the pot in your home safe?

The pot can be said to be a must -have kitchen utensil for every family. It can be divided into: stir -fry, steamer, boiling pot, fried pan, etc.; From the material, it can be divided into: stainless steel pot, ceramic pot, iron pot, aluminum pot, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass, glass Pot and so on. Recently, there are news on the Internet saying that stainless steel pot manganese exceeds the standard, ceramic pot lead exceeds the standard, aluminum pot will be used for dementia, and the coating of non -stick pot is toxic ...

It seems that there are problems with all kinds of pots commonly used in our lives! You need to know that the pot has to be used almost every day. So many harms, too scary, is it true? What is the better and safer pot with so many ingredients?

National standard

Don't worry about qualified pots

First of all, regardless of the iron pot aluminum pot or ceramic pot stainless steel pot, it is used to cook food. Therefore, it belongs to the category of "food contact materials and products". The state has a series of special management standards for such products, including the national standard of food safety standards "Food Materials and Products General Safety Requirements" (GB4806.1), "Ceramic Products" (GB4806.4) Products (GB4806.9), "Food Contact and Coating" (GB4806.10), etc. (GB4806.10), etc.

No matter what kind of material, you need to follow the general safety requirements: "When you contact the food under the recommended conditions, the material level migrated to the food should not endanger human health." In addition, the specific standards for each material for each material should be It also provides more detailed provisions of the safety issues that are prone to the material.

Therefore, the safety of qualified pot products that meet national standards are guaranteed, and consumers need not worry.

Qualified stainless steel pot is normal under normal circumstances

The amount of metal elements migrated is very low

The problem of manganese in stainless steel cookers mentioned online was actually discussed as early as 2011. Manganese is indeed a alloy element that will be used in the production process of stainless steel materials.

In addition to manganese, nickel, chromium and other metal elements need to be used. But stainless steel pots contain these metal elements does not mean that they will harm health.

First of all, evaluate whether a certain ingredients in food contact materials are healthy and harmful, not how much it is, but to depend on whether it can be migrated to the food and the amount of migration is.

Under normal use of stainless steel pots, the stability is very high, and the amount of various metal elements that can be relocated is very low.

Secondly, manganese is one of the essential trace elements of the human body. The national authoritative institutions have specifically detected migration of manganese elements on the market in the early stage of stainless steel pot products on the market and evaluated. The results show that it will not exceed the human body tolerable dose.

Old -style pure aluminum pot has been eliminated

At present, aluminum pots on the market are composite materials

Because aluminum pot is light and thermal conductivity, many people prefer to use aluminum pots. However, the intensity and stability of aluminum are poor, especially under acidic conditions, chemical reactions are prone to precipitated aluminum ions.

Therefore, the national standard stipulates that the food contact surface does not have an aluminum and aluminum alloy covering the organic coating.

For the pot, the potholes and potholes that can be seen by every family have also been eliminated. Now the aluminum pot on the market is a composite material with better performance and safer performance. The food contact surface is covered with a protective layer. Avoid aluminum -to -food directly contacting food, and aluminum ions are avoided in food.

Non -stick paint coatings listed after 2012

No longer use the whole fluorosonic acid that may be carcinogenic

The so -called non -stick pan is covered with coating with a layer of extremely low friction coefficient and surface energy on the inner surface of the pot, making it difficult for food to attach, so it is not easy to stick the pan. At present, non -sticky pot products on the market are mainly polytrafluorolytic coating. This coating is stable and has the performance of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

The safety of non -stick coating has also been argued as early as many years ago. The core is that the PFOA and its salt used by coating manufacturing are considered to cause cancer. However, this substance that has been listed in non -sticky pots has been listed since 2012, and consumers can rest assured.

In addition, there are also heavy metal problems of ceramic pots that are worried about. The standards also have corresponding regulations. For example, relevant national standards stipulate the lead and cadmium migration indicators of ceramic products that contact foods.

In short, no matter what kind of material, as long as it is a formal qualified product, it is strictly controlled to those substances that may harm health, and consumers can use it with confidence.
