Finnish stores may still sell plastic cups and containers containing bamboo or other unauthorized plant fibers, reports Helsingin sanomat newspaper.
The Food Agency has found that stores still stock children’s tableware and takeaway mugs containing a blend of bamboo and plastic.
Last year, the European Commission found that plastic containers containing bamboo could release dangerous amounts of formaldehyde.
At the end of last year, the Finnish Food Safety Authority ordered distributors to stop importing non-compliant plastic food packaging due to health problems related to long-term use.
The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority informed HS that consumers who had purchased bamboo plastic containers were entitled to a full refund.
Post – pandemic inflation
Business every day Kauppalehti warns that the Helsinki Stock Exchange is not immune to share bubbles in a long – term investor interview Peter Seligson.
"So-called growth rates are high. I could list several companies where I would ask if they were worth a billion or a million," he explained.
According to Seligson, the market seems to be investing in bypassing inflation.
KL notes, however, that Seligson believes that the economy is entering a new phase characterized by growth, inflation and rising interest rates.

"As for graduation parties, we expect people to hold them outside … right now, the ceiling for public meetings is six, but the graduation date is still some time away, and no one can know at this point what the maximum number of participants allowed will be," Mayor of Helsinki Jan Vapaavuori said.
