The Consumer Rights Protection Commission said it conducted tests on the plastic and paper packaging of 100 food products bought from supermarkets and catering companies.

Another firm had plastic packaging with evaporation residue containing a toxic heavy metal.

Fluorescent substances do not decompose easily and may be absorbed by food, affecting people’s immune systems, doctors told Shanghai Daily.
