Catering unit

Use wet tissue paper to pay attention to four points

How to choose and safely use wet tissue? The health administrative department reminds that when purchasing, you should go to a regular supermarket, shopping mall or pharmacy. When using the wet tissue in the catering unit, pay attention to the following four points.

First, qualified wipes have a soft, elegant taste, white texture, and will not fluff after use. The internal products should be moisture-containing and not dry; inferior wet wipes often have odors, and there are obvious fluffing during use, and some even have mildew, which is irritating to the skin and causes itching and pain.

Second, the wet towel package should have the product name, manufacturer name, address, and health permit number. The product label (including the instructions) and the promotional content must be true and must not appear or imply a therapeutic effect on the disease.

Third, attention should be paid to the production date and expiration date of the product or the production batch number and the limited use date. Do not purchase or use wipes that have expired or are not marked for expiration.

Fourth, pay attention to check whether the outer packaging of the product is intact. Never buy or use the damaged product to prevent secondary contamination.

In addition, in recent years, with the continuous development of catering and tourism in Hangzhou, the demand for disposable wet wipes has been increasing. However, the illegal production of unlicensed enterprises, the unqualified quality of products or the irregular labeling, and the illegal use of individual enterprises or even the recycling of disposable wet tissues still exist.
