Bamboo tube milk tea is to use the bamboo tube as a container, tea as the base, and then add a few circles of cream or milk cover to the surface, and finally add dried fruit or matcha powder to garnish. Only from the drinkable part, it is not much different from the common milk tea on the market. But it is precisely the plastic cup replaced by bamboo tube, not only the price can rise to more than 30 cups, but also popular across the country, has become a new generation of online celebrity drinks.

However, recently, some netizens complained on social platforms that "the bamboo tube milk tea he bought suspected that the bamboo tube was recycled." After tearing open the sticker on the surface of the bamboo tube, the netizen found that there was still a layer of sticker inside, and doubted whether the bamboo tube had been recycled.

Subsequently, the media "poisonous second Finance" contacted the staff of the milk tea shop involved, and the staff responded: maybe after the label was affixed once, it was repeated because of negligence; it was exposed online that some brands were recycled and reused. We normally do not recycle after the guests take it.

After the popularity of bamboo milk tea, there is often a heated discussion about the second recycling of bamboo tubes. Just two months ago, a video of an old woman washing bamboo tubes by the river in Suzhou also attracted a heated discussion about "whether stores will use recycling bins". Some netizens suspected that the bamboo tube was washed clean and then sold to the milk tea shop, while others speculated that the old man washed the bamboo tube clean and took it home to plant flowers and plants.

After that, the staff of the store concerned also responded: the company has a rule that it can not be recycled. And recycling and cleaning is hard to clean, and we won't do that. All the cups in the store are disposable, customers can take them away, and it is the customer's choice to throw them away or collect what they collect after drinking.

Bamboo tube this kind of material, itself is prone to mildew, cracking problems, direct contact with drinks will be more prone to food safety problems.

In view of this phenomenon, when the Beijing Dongcheng Market Regulatory Bureau conducted an inspection within its jurisdiction, it was suggested that the relevant responsible person should consider putting a beverage cup in the bamboo tube of milk tea to avoid direct contact with the inner wall of the bamboo tube and further ensure food safety.
