Are pyramid tea bags safe?
Tea bag producers often use roll stock films made of nylon, non-woven fabric, and PLA to mass-produce pyramid tea bags.
Nylon. Nylon is made of polyamide, which is a synthetic polymer–a plastic material. It’s heat resistant, so it’s often used in food packaging. The FDA has stated that polyamide is safe for use in contact with food. However, Nylon isn’t biodegradable.
Non-woven. The non-woven mesh is made from polypropylene, which is a less polluting material when discarded and decomposes faster.
PLA. It is a kind of corn-based plastic, which means it is a completely degradable synthetic fiber derived from plants.
They are all very stable and can stay in hot water for a long time without releasing harmful chemicals into the water.
Moreover, it is also associated with how tea bags are produced. Sealing them ultrasonically has become mainstream and doesn’t require sealant anymore.
