US FDA food contact material testing refers to testing materials that are in direct contact with food to ensure that these materials will not cause harm to food safety during use. These materials include plastics, metals, ceramics, glass, bamboo and wood products, etc. During the process of contact with food, these materials may affect the smell, taste and color of the food, and may also release a certain amount of toxic chemical components. Such as heavy metals, toxic additives, etc. These chemical components may migrate into food and be ingested by the human body, harming human health.

U.S. FDA food contact material testing process:

1. Contact FDA staff and provide product pictures and necessary information for consultation and product description.

2. Roughly determine the cost, send samples, and engineers will preliminarily define the product materials and testing plan for the product.

3. Develop a test plan and meet customer requirements as much as possible.

4. Fill in the test order form.

5. Sign a quotation contract.

6. Arrange payment.

7. Arrange testing.

8. The test cycle is generally 5-7 working days.
