Question

Why should we be careful in using plastic bags to store cooked food items?

Answer 1

We should be careful in using plastic bags to store cooked food items because:

1) Sometimes bags collected by rag pickers are reused just after washing them. The use of such recycled plastic bags to keep food items could be harmful to our health.

2) Plastic bags of some types may not be suitable for keeping eatables. Consuming food packed in such plastic bags can be dangerous.

3) Shopkeepers use plastic bags that have been used earlier for other purposes.
