Disposable chopsticks may be made from bamboo trees, such as those in Vietnam. These sticks are cut to shape and then treated with Hydrogen Peroxide, not any disinfectant. Then they're left outside to dry in the sun's heat. After the chopsticks have dried they will be shipped to other asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia or Japan.
It takes about a month to get these chopsticks delivered by container to their destination. During this time they are subject to chemicals in the container which have been sprayed to keep away cockroaches and rats. Chemical residue may coat the chopsticks.
These bundles of sticks are then sent to local factories for packaging. No disinfectant is used in the process. Once packaged the chopsticks are sent to restaurants.
Eating with these chopsticks can be hazardous to your health.
