When cartons are tested for FDA food contact materials in the United States, they need to follow a series of strict test items and standards to ensure that they meet the safety requirements for direct contact with food. The purpose of FDA food contact material testing is to ensure that cartons will not have adverse effects on food when used as food packaging materials, while protecting the health and safety of consumers.
1. Test items
1. Component testing:
Test the material composition of the carton to ensure that it does not contain toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals, harmful chemicals, etc.
Follow the relevant regulations and standards set by the FDA, such as the relevant provisions in U.S. FDA CFR 21.
2. Migration test:
Detect toxic and harmful substances that may be released into food during use of cartons.
Evaluate whether these released substances may have any adverse effects on the food, such as changing its taste, color, or nutritional content.
3. Physical performance testing:
Test the physical properties of the carton, including heat resistance, cold resistance, impact resistance, etc.
Ensure that the carton will not be deformed or damaged during use to maintain food safety and hygiene.
4. Microbiological testing:
Cartons are tested for microbiology to ensure they do not contain pathogenic bacteria, E. coli and other microorganisms.
This helps prevent microbial contamination of food and safeguards consumer health.
5. Toxicological assessment:
The cartons are toxicologically evaluated to assess their possible effects on humans during use.
This includes assessing whether chemicals in carton materials may have harmful effects on the human body, such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, etc.
6. Label review:
Review the labels on the cartons to ensure that the information marked on them is true, accurate and complete.
This includes checking whether the production date, shelf life, instructions for use and other information on the carton comply with FDA requirements.
2. Testing process
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.
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.
