Koreans, who love instant noodles, don't have forks either
How can this problem be solved?
Ask the clerk for a free fork or chopsticks when you buy it
There are enthusiastic clerks who will also take the initiative to ask if you want tableware
The safest way to do this is to bring a lunch box
Why don't instant noodles have forks?
Hong Kong's food hygiene guidelines stipulate that plastic forks can decompose trace amounts of toxins when exposed to heat, so forks are not allowed to be placed in instant noodles. It is said that there are also environmental factors, and of course some people say that it is due to the cost.
Plastics take more than a few hundred years to decompose
According to an earlier study, microbeads were detected in the blood of 8 adults
In a 2008 EPD document, catering suppliers had abandoned the use of styrofoam lunch boxes for food supply in schools and adopted 100-fold plastic lunch boxes or reusable containers.
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has launched the "Reward for Plastic" mobile app to encourage the public to reduce their use of plastics. Starting from 22 April this year, the HKSAR Government has banned single-use plastic tableware and products in phases.
Environmental protection should start from little by little. If you eat instant noodles outside, you can ask for a fork or prepare tableware by yourself, and it is more convenient to have the tableware at hand when eating instant noodles at home.
