Lunch boxes exported to the United States require FDA food contact material testing. This is because paper lunch boxes are food contact materials, and the US FDA believes that food contact materials fall within the scope of additive management. The environmental protection and safety of these materials is related to the food safety and health of users. Therefore, such products exported to the United States require FDA food contact material testing. Test items include physical and mechanical performance testing, chemical substance testing, etc. to ensure that the lunch boxes comply with relevant standards and regulations. If the test results meet the requirements, the testing agency will issue an FDA food contact material testing certificate to the applicant.



U.S. FDA food contact material testing items for lunch boxes:

1. Component testing: Test the material components of the lunch box to ensure that it does not contain toxic and harmful substances.

2. Migration test: Test the toxic and harmful substances that may be released during the use of lunch boxes to ensure that they will not have adverse effects on food.

3. Physical performance testing: Test the physical properties of the lunch box, such as heat resistance, cold resistance, impact resistance, etc., to ensure that it will not be deformed or damaged during use.

4. Microbial testing: Conduct microbial testing on lunch boxes to ensure that they do not contain pathogenic bacteria, E. coli and other microorganisms.

5. Toxicological assessment: Conduct a toxicological assessment on the lunch box to evaluate its possible impact on the human body during use.

6. Label review: Review the labels of the lunch boxes to ensure that the information marked on them is true, accurate and complete.



U.S. FDA food contact material testing process for lunch boxes:

1. The applicant provides product samples and relevant information to the testing agency.

2. The testing agency conducts a preliminary inspection of the sample to confirm whether it meets the testing requirements.

3. If the sample meets the requirements, the testing agency will conduct testing according to FDA food contact material testing standards, including component testing, migration testing, physical performance testing, microbial testing, toxicological evaluation and label review, etc.

4. The testing agency will communicate with the applicant in a timely manner during the testing process to inform the testing progress and possible problems.

5. After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue an FDA food contact material testing report. For samples that meet the requirements, an FDA food contact material testing certificate will be issued.
