Author:GIG      Postdate:2025-07-09

In modern catering and household life, food contact materials, as utensils that come into direct contact with food, have material safety that directly impacts consumer health. According to international food safety standards, all materials that may come into contact with food must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they do not migrate harmful substances into food. Professional testing can evaluate the chemical stability of utensils like knives and forks under various usage conditions (e.g., high temperatures, acidic environments), preventing hazardous components such as heavy metals and plasticizers from leaching into food. Today, Huabiao Testing will share insights on handling various FCM food contact materials, such as FDA and LFGB.


FCM Food Contact Materials
