It is well-known
how the consumption of drinks packaged in metal cans with separations
or displacement opening system does not offer adequate hygienic
protection.
Wheter the beverages are drunk directly from the tin or poured into
a glass, they must necessarily come in contact
with the outer wall of the lid and its rim and may
become contaminated by pollutants which be present there accidentally
or with malice (a third of firms expect
the tampering risk), and the condensation which forms on the outer
surface of tins which have been refrigerated favour the detachment
and suspencion on the beverage.
Possible pollutants include whose origin is bacteriological (environmental,
animal and human origin) just as chemical toxic substances used
as insecticides or rodent killers and cleaning products.
What is more, a large number of hygiene experts
and soft drinks firms association herself,
before 250 peoples in Belgium, 40 in France, etc. was poisoned,
in June 1999, by a fungicide present on outer wall of the lid of
soft drink tins, have draw the attention on a currently underrated
risk of it is need aware knowledge.
