Ice cream moon cake of dry ice blasting hidden gaps in national laws.

Mid-Autumn Festival near Beijing to buy a box of ice cream moon cake Yang. .Waiter took some dry ice (solid carbon dioxide that is because there are excellent cooling function, is often used as a take-away cold insulation agent - editor's note) into a plastic bag, then placed in plastic bags above the moon cake box, the attendant said, .This can be ice _ is scattered, is conducive to lasting insulation. .After returning home, Mr. Yang of dry ice directly into the refrigerator. .Yang did not know that he is facing the risks of these ice. .In 2005, the media reported with the ice led to an explosion. .A consumer buys ice cream moon cake, will be placed in dry ice for cooling plastic bottles stored in the refrigerator, the result of continued evaporation at low temperature of dry ice into gaseous carbon dioxide, the volume can be increased up to 1,000 times, resulting in a .field explosion. .In addition, the media has also reported several things that consumers are ice frostbite. .Later she learned that Mr. Yang and related properties of dry ice scared, and angry: Since the ice with these dangers, why not remind, why use it? .An ice cream vendor's staff explained that the advantages of low temperature of dry ice, and can direct gasification, will not leave residue, most of the ice cream vendors are using dry ice. .As for the risk of dry ice, the staff member said, has taken relevant measures. .For example, the ice stored in the box near the closed, staff should not be touched under normal circumstances, will be marked on the box notes, sales staff will remind the consumer. .In this regard, the international director, vice president of Food Lion Packaging Association, said: "Dry ice should not be civil."
