FDA food contact material testing mainly tests the release of harmful substances from products. For stainless steel products, chromium content is an important test item. Stainless steel used for food contact contains at least 16% chromium, which helps prevent rust and corrosion. 304 stainless steel is particularly suitable for food contact materials because it contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It is the most popular austenitic crystallized steel because of its strong corrosion resistance.
Related procedures for US FDA certification of 304 stainless steel bowls:
1. Understand FDA requirements: Study FDA regulations on food contact materials, especially the stainless steel-related parts of 21 CFR, and determine compliance standards.
2. Prepare application materials: Collect detailed information about the product, including material composition, manufacturing process, usage, etc., and prepare documents proving the legal status of the enterprise, such as business license, production license, etc.
3. Sample preparation: Randomly select representative samples from the production batch to ensure that the samples can truly reflect the quality and characteristics of the product, and be clearly labeled and packaged.
4. Submit application and samples: Fill in the application form, provide detailed information about the product and required testing items, and submit the samples to an FDA-approved laboratory or third-party testing agency.
5. Laboratory testing: The laboratory will test the samples according to FDA requirements. Testing items may include chemical composition analysis of materials, corrosion resistance testing, heavy metal content testing, etc.
6. Data analysis and report issuance: The laboratory conducts detailed analysis of the test data, evaluates whether the stainless steel material meets FDA food safety standards, and issues a detailed test report.
7. Report review and feedback: FDA may directly review the test report, or require the company to provide additional information or conduct further testing. If the test results show that stainless steel materials do not meet FDA requirements, the company needs to make rectifications according to FDA's feedback and resubmit samples for testing.
In addition, the main testing standards for FDA food contact materials include 21 CFR Part 177-2003, 21 CFR Part 175-2003 metals, etc. Testing items for food-grade stainless steel molded products may include testing for the content of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and arsenic.
