Özuluğ stated that when they examined Urfa kebab both raw and cooked, they detected approximately the same amount of plastic in both ways.
Pointing out that when they rank according to the size of the detected microplastics, kokoreç comes first, borek comes in second, and Urfa kebab comes in third, Özuluğ said, “When only one of the pastry, kokoreç or Urfa kebab processed on plastic counters is consumed every week, it reaches two hair widths in a year. A little over 5 meters long plastic load is taken into the body.” he said.
“WOOD, BAMBOO OR GLASS CAN BE ALTERNATIVE”
Pointing out that plastic benches are preferred by tradesmen because they comply with the legislation and are easy to clean, Özuluğ noted that there are products that businesses can use as an alternative to plastic.
Özuluğ continued as follows:
“If businesses want to offer a healthier product to the public, they can turn to healthier and more natural materials. It can be wood, bamboo or glass. Now there are new, new, I think porcelain products on the market. If cutting operations are done in the house, plastic should be avoided. We all use plastic. We all use plastic. There are plastics at home, but plastic should not be used in cutting operations after or before cooking.”
Emphasizing the importance of continuing research in terms of raising awareness about food safety, Özuluğ evaluated the need to regulate the use of plastic products in contact with food on the basis of laws and make it an appropriate procedure.
