According to the regulations of the US FDA, the materials of products in contact with food need to comply with the corresponding food contact material safety standards, including material safety, composition, migration amount, usage conditions, etc. Bottle openers are tools used to open bottle caps and may come into direct contact with food, so they need to undergo FDA food contact material testing.



FDA’s general process for food contact material testing:

1. Determine the detection range: First, you need to determine the material of the bottle opener, the part in contact with food and the contact time, etc., to determine the scope of detection.

2. Choose the appropriate testing method: Choose the appropriate testing method according to the material of the bottle opener and the parts that contact food, such as migration test, heat resistance test, corrosion resistance test, etc.

3. Sample preparation: According to the requirements of the detection method, prepare a certain number of bottle opener samples and ensure the quality and representativeness of the samples.

4. Laboratory testing: Send the prepared samples to an FDA-certified laboratory for testing, and conduct the test in accordance with the prescribed testing methods and procedures.

5. Result analysis and reporting: Based on the laboratory test results, conduct data analysis and evaluation, prepare test reports, and submit them in accordance with FDA requirements.



For bottle openers to be tested for food contact materials by the US FDA, the following information is required:

1. Application form: Fill in the complete application form, including product information, company information and testing requirements.

2. Samples: Provide a certain number of bottle opener samples to ensure the quality and representativeness of the samples.

3. Material description: Provide the material description of the bottle opener, including manufacturing materials, coatings, glue, etc., so that the materials can be evaluated and tested.

4. Manufacturing process description: Provide a description of the bottle opener's manufacturing process, including material processing, molding, surface treatment, etc., in order to evaluate the safety and reliability of the product.

5. Compliance statement: Provide a compliance statement that meets FDA standards, declare that the product complies with FDA regulations, and assume corresponding legal responsibilities.
