DANGER! Avoid Using Polythene To Wrap Banku or Any Hot Food. Polythene, also known as polyethylene, should not be used to wrap banku or any hot food due to several reasons:1. Toxicity: Polythene is made from synthetic materials and contains chemicals that can leach into food, particularly when exposed to heat. These chemicals, such as plasticizers and additives, can pose health risks when ingested. Consuming food that has been in direct contact with polythene can potentially lead to the ingestion of harmful substances.2. Melting and contamination: Polythene has a low melting point, and when it comes into contact with hot food, it can melt and mix with the food. This can lead to contamination and affect the taste, quality, and safety of the food.3. Environmental concerns: Polythene is a non-biodegradable material, meaning it does not break down naturally over time. Improper disposal of polythene contributes to environmental pollution and can have detrimental effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Using alternative, eco-friendly packaging options reduces the environmental impact.Instead of polythene, it is recommended to use safe and food-grade packaging materials for wrapping bank or any hot food. Options such as banana leaves, plantain leaves, or biodegradable food wraps made from natural materials can be used as environmentally friendly alternatives. These materials are safe for food contact, can withstand heat, and do not pose health risks when used to wrap hot food.William BoadiExecutive Director, Educate Africa Institute, Educationist, Social Worker, Political analyst, and Skill Consultant.đŠ Contact the Author for consultation and training through the following:WhatsApp at +233541935106âď¸+233541935106Subscribe/Follow the channel for more information or call/WhatsApp us for advertisement.
