The safety hazards of glass bottles of olive oil

In the past, I only heard that inferior beer bottles would suddenly burst bottles. The bottled edible oil bottle explosion accidents have been heard from time to time. They are almost all expensive, high-grade bottled cooking oils, especially for olive oil of various brands. . It is often a time when the glass bottles of cooking oil on the cooktop suddenly burst.

Accident Fry Stewed Baked Oil Bottle

In recent years, due to factors such as environmental protection and labor costs, many of the original glass bottle manufacturers in Shanghai have reportedly closed down and switched. Some manufacturers of glass bottles in outer bottles are relatively weak in terms of technology and equipment, and they are often taken lightly in such bottles, jars, and cans, and the quality checkpoints are virtually empty. When the public gossip, they are often used to conveniently place the oil bottle at a convenient place, frying with boiling fire to force the oven to bake. Failure to eliminate or eliminate the unfinished stress in the oil bottle will “capture the bottle” and cause a bottle explosion accident.

Phenomenon inferior glass bottles of high-grade oil

Plastic bottles of edible oil, whether cheap or high-end, so far have not heard of a bottle explosion accident. According to expert analysis, some exquisitely-shaped, glass bottles of high-grade edible oil have frequently burst bottles, and the cooking oil that is contained in them does not cross the border. The key lies in the glass oil bottle itself. Glass bottles blown from quartz solution are generally required to be annealed in the kiln to eliminate the internal stress. Otherwise, once the stress and heat are not uniform, the unremoved stress will cause the bottle to burst.

Basically, our country does not produce olive oil. Currently, various kinds of olive oil that are popular in the market are imported. However, because imported bottled olive oil has a high transportation cost, it is currently widely used in domestic packaging after importing large barrels, and then listed under various brands, namely the “foreign” oil “country” bottle.

Recommend to promote plastic bottled edible oil

Experts pointed out that all kinds of domestic edible oils, including domestic high-grade tea oil, safflower oil, etc., are packed in plastic bottles. The reason why foreigners generally use 500 ml small size glass bottles for olive oil is actually not to highlight their worth, but based on the daily cooking habits, olive oil is generally used for watering on the dining table, thick and thin square glass The bottle focuses on being safe and practical.

Experts suggest that, given that almost no glass bottles have been recovered from the recycling channels for used materials, it is difficult to dispose of the glass wastes produced in daily life. Therefore, it is undoubtedly more practical for all types of imported edible oil to be replaced with plastic bottles. In addition, due to the fact that the quality of the container after the explosion of such oil bottles is difficult to verify, it is difficult for consumers to safeguard their rights. To ensure safety and reduce unnecessary losses, if glass bottles of cooking oil are still used during cooking, please keep away from heat sources. .
