Common problem
1. What are food contact materials and food contact products?
Answer: Food contact material (FCM) is a material that comes into contact with food under normal or foreseeable conditions of use. Some or all parts are products made of food contact materials. They can be called food contact products, such as electric kettles, coffee machines, rice cookers, soup spoons, food packaging bags, etc.
2. Why do food contact products not only need to meet general environmental protection requirements, but also meet higher safety standards?
Answer: In the process of food contact materials in contact with food, it may affect the odor, taste and color of food, and may release a certain amount of toxic and harmful ingredients such as heavy metals, additives, polymer monomers, and these chemical components will migrate. Into food and then ingested by the human body, directly harm human health. Therefore, food contact materials need to meet higher safety standards than general products.
3. In addition to the EU market, which other markets in the world have mandatory regulations on the health and safety of food contact materials?
Answer: Because food contact materials are related to food safety, currently the major global markets including the European Union, China, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions have made mandatory regulations for the health and safety of food contact materials. In particular, it should be noted that the specific requirements of different markets are quite different, and some are even incomparable. Therefore, when food contact products enter different markets, they need to evaluate their compliance separately for the specific requirements of different markets.
