Recently, some media reported that a netizen in Fuzhou suffered a shocking moment and said that he put the milk tea in the microwave to heat it. 30 seconds later, the microwave oven was in flames and the upper half of the cup body had been burned!

The person involved said that he originally wanted to heat a cold cup of wedding tea drink, put the milk tea into the microwave oven and set it for 1 minute, and then go do his own thing. Half the heating time passed, the microwave oven suddenly made a crackling sound. Afraid of causing an explosion, the party involved quickly turned on the microwave oven."The fire rushed out at that time. I used a spatula to directly overturn the milk tea cup. The fire went out after the milk tea was overturned."

Looking at the half-burned paper cups and the miserable situation of the microwave oven being blackened, the person involved felt a wave of fear and said that he had never flipped over when using the microwave to heat various brands of milk tea. He didn't expect such a thrilling scene to happen this time. It almost caused a fire.

Afterwards, netizens reported the situation they encountered with Xicha customer service. The other party responded that the drink purchased by the customer used paper cups containing metal materials and was not recommended to heat it in the microwave.

It is worth noting that many milk tea "heating parties" on the Internet have once heated milk tea directly in the microwave, and some people have also exposed their own heating skills. But some people almost set their homes on fire because of a cup of milk tea.

At the beginning of the year, Jasmine Milk White launched a paper cup using bronzing printing technology. It was winter, and many customers who preferred hot drinks put it in the microwave to heat it. In less than a few dozen seconds, the microwave oven flashed and emitted black smoke, which scared the "heating party".

Based on the numerous feedbacks on social media about heating milk tea cups in the microwave, some consumers believe that different people have different consumption habits. Brands should consider the scene where some people will put cooled milk tea into the microwave for heating, and add a conspicuous logo to the outer packaging of the product to inform customers whether the material can enter the microwave oven.

In this regard, the reporter contacted Xicha customer service. Brand customer service stated that the milk tea cups used to pack drinks in stores are disposable items that meet food safety standards, but the product itself is not designed for the use scenarios of microwave ovens, so users are not recommended to put them in the microwave oven to directly heat them. They are recommended to replace the container and then heat them.

In addition, regarding the heating label mentioned by the parties concerned, Xi Tea Party said that many consumers had given similar suggestions before, and they had made records and fed back to the relevant departments of the company as a reference for subsequent product optimization.

Some lawyers said that according to the "General Safety Requirements for Basic Food Materials and Products", products with special use requirements should indicate the use temperature. For products that exceed the use conditions and will cause higher safety risks, the use should be explained in a particularly eye-catching way. conditions.

Therefore, although there is currently no direct stipulation on whether milk tea packaging cups should be marked as whether they can be used in the microwave oven, from the perspective of risk prevention and the current usage scenarios of consumer groups, merchants should try their best to mark the packaging cups if conditions permit. Mark whether they can be used in the microwave oven to avoid unnecessary disputes and troubles.
