Canteen
Do not microwave the canteen’s plates
The canteen’s plates are unsuitable for microwave cooking. They are made from 100% melamine plastic which MAY give off formaldehyde og melamine when heated in a microwave oven. Therefore, please avoid using plates from the canteen when microwaving food.
Why are the canteen's plates made from melamine plastic?
The canteens in Odense, Kolding and Copenhagen have procured the plates in consultation with Technical Services on the grounds that they last longer, are more durable and, being lightweight, are easy to handle when washing up etc.
Furthermore, the plates were procured for buying food in the canteens, not as a supplement for kitchens, kitchenettes and lunch rooms, including microwaving. If the plates are removed from the canteen when fetching lunch, they must be returned to the canteen afterwards, e.g. using the service carts available.
