The shelf life of napkins is generally 3 years
The following is a detailed description of the shelf life of napkins:
Shelf life standard
According to the national "Standards for Disposable Hygiene Products", the shelf life of napkins is usually 3 years, and the production date and expiration date must be indicated on the product packaging. If the shelf life is exceeded, bacteria may grow (such as the total number of bacteria exceeding the standard by 10 times), increasing health risks.
Usage suggestions
Use as soon as possible after opening: Once the napkin is opened, it is exposed to the air and is susceptible to bacterial contamination. It is recommended to use it up within 3 months.
Avoid mixing: The hygiene standard of napkins is higher than that of toilet paper (such as toilet paper). Mixing may increase the risk of contact with germs.
Quality identification: High-quality napkins should not shed, fade, or break easily when exposed to water. Inferior products may use waste paper raw materials and contain fluorescent whitening agents (which can be detected by a banknote detector).
Precautions
Storage environment: Keep dry and ventilated to avoid moisture that accelerates bacterial growth.
Difference in timeliness: The shelf life of wet wipes is usually 2 years, which is shorter than that of ordinary napkins.
Regulatory basis
The production of napkins must comply with the "Sanitary Standards for Disinfection Product Production Enterprises" and GB15979-2002 "Sanitary Standards for Disposable Sanitary Products", and the health license is approved by the provincial health administrative department.
