How to Conduct EU LFGB Testing for Air Fryer Non-Stick Coatings?
In modern catering and household environments, food contact materials directly impact consumer health through their safety. According to international food safety standards, all materials that may come into contact with food must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they don't migrate harmful substances. Professional testing evaluates the chemical stability of materials under various conditions (high temperatures, acidic environments, etc.), preventing hazardous components like heavy metals and plasticizers from leaching into food. Today, Huabiao Testing explains how to conduct EU LFGB testing for air fryer non-stick coatings.
What is LFGB Testing?
LFGB testing, officially known as the "German Food and Feed Code," is Germany's safety testing standard for food contact materials and articles. It strictly regulates chemical, physical, and sensory requirements to ensure these materials don't contaminate food.
Why Does Air Fryer Non-Stick Coating Need LFGB Testing?
Air fryer non-stick coatings typically consist of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or other chemical compounds. During high-temperature cooking, these coatings may release harmful substances. LFGB testing evaluates whether these coatings are safe under normal usage conditions, thereby protecting consumer health.
LFGB Testing Process
Sample Preparation: Prepare non-stick coating samples from your air fryer. Samples should represent the final product to ensure accurate test results.
Test Items: LFGB testing mainly includes:
Sensory Testing: Evaluates whether the coating affects food taste or produces odors
Chemical Testing: Detects harmful substances like heavy metals, formaldehyde, and PAHs
Physical Testing: Assesses coating's abrasion and scratch resistance to ensure durability
Testing Duration: Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on sample quantity and test items.
Result Evaluation: After testing, results are assessed against LFGB standards. Samples passing all tests receive LFGB certification.
