Paper knives, forks, and spoons are environmentally friendly tableware made of paper material. They are usually used as substitutes for disposable plastic knives, forks, and spoons to reduce environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. French DGCCRF food contact materials refer to various materials that come into contact with food, including plastics, rubber, ceramics, glass, metals, etc. These materials must comply with the relevant regulations and standards of DGCCRF in France during the manufacturing and processing process to ensure that they do not contaminate food when in contact with food, thereby ensuring people's food safety and health.


Paper knives, forks, and spoons undergo French DGCCRF food contact testing mainly to ensure that they do not release harmful substances when in contact with food and ensure food safety.

French DGCCRF testing:

1. Migration test: Detects whether substances may migrate into the food during contact with paper knives, forks, and spoons, which may affect the safety of the food.

2. Harmful substance detection: Detect whether paper knives, forks, and spoons contain substances harmful to human health, such as heavy metals, harmful chemicals, etc.

3. Microbial testing: Detect whether paper knives, forks, and spoons can breed microorganisms, such as bacteria, molds, etc. during use.


DGCCRF testing standard

When the product comes into contact with food, do not:

1. Release ingredients that pose a risk to human health

2. Unacceptable changes in the composition of food products 3. Reducing the sensory characteristics of food (causing changes in taste, odor, color, etc.)

For food exported to the European Union and France, France has higher requirements in the EU, requiring that food contact materials or products exported to France not only comply with the EU regulation (ec) no1935/2004, but also comply with local French regulations and DGCCRF standards for food contact materials. French regulations not only have special requirements for rubber products in contact with food, but also have special classifications and requirements for metal products.
