When household meat grinders are planned to be sold in the French market or imported into France, they need to comply with French safety standards for food contact materials. France has strict limit requirements and related testing methods for food contact materials to ensure their safety. Household meat grinders need to undergo French DGCCRF food contact material testing.
French food contact material testing items for household meat grinders:
1. Migration amount detection:
Specific migration: detect the migration of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), zinc (Zn), etc. to ensure that these substances will not Exceeding the standard and migrating into food.
Comprehensive migration: Tests for formaldehyde, phenols, aromatic amines, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, styrene, acrylonitrile, caprolactam, bisphenol A, plasticizers (such as phthalates: DEHP, DINP, DNOP, DBP , DMP, DEP), etc.
2. Detection of toxic and harmful substances:
Determine the content of heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), as well as polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other harmful substances to ensure that these substances do not exceed safety limits.
3. Microbial indicators:
Including total bacterial colony testing, coliform testing, mold testing, and pathogenic bacteria testing (such as Shigella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.) to ensure that the hygienic condition of the meat grinder meets standards.
4. Physical performance test:
Although this part is not a direct food contact testing item, it is very important to ensure the safety of the meat grinder during use. This may include testing of the material's mechanical properties, thermal stability, transparency, etc.
5. Environmental adaptability test:
Evaluate the performance of the meat grinder under different environmental conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc., to ensure that it can work stably under various conditions and does not produce harmful substances.
6. Special requirements of French DGCCRF:
For the French market, meat grinders may also need to meet the special requirements of DGCCRF, such as the requirements for chromium content in stainless steel (at least 13%).
