Disposable plastic cutlery requires UK food contact material testing. In the UK, there are strict regulatory requirements for materials that come into direct or indirect contact with food, including tableware such as disposable plastic cutlery.
1. Select a testing agency
Choose a testing agency with qualifications and experience to conduct product testing. This institution should be able to conduct tests in accordance with relevant British regulations and standards and issue legally binding test reports.
2. Prepare samples and information
Sample preparation: Prepare disposable plastic cutlery samples that meet the testing requirements to ensure that the samples are representative and can truly reflect the quality and safety of the product.
Data preparation: Provide relevant product information, including product instructions, production process, raw material sources and other information, so that the testing agency can conduct a comprehensive assessment.
3. Conduct testing
The testing agency will test the samples in accordance with relevant British regulations and standards. Testing content may include the following aspects:
Chemical migration test: Evaluate the migration amount of harmful substances (such as heavy metals, additives, monomers, etc.) in materials under specific conditions to ensure that these substances will not migrate into food and cause harm to human health.
Physical performance testing: Evaluate the material’s physical properties such as heat resistance, cold resistance, and wear resistance to ensure that the material can maintain stability and reliability during use.
Microbial testing: Detect the number and types of microorganisms on the surface of materials to evaluate their hygienic status and ensure that food will not be contaminated during use.
4. Issuance of test report
After completing the test, the testing agency will issue a legally binding test report. The report will detail the test results, test methods, test conditions and whether it meets the requirements of relevant British regulations and standards.
