When PP plastic (polypropylene) is used as a food contact material for FDA testing in the United States, it needs to follow the relevant regulations and standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the PP plastic product fails the FDA test, the following improvements may need to be made based on the unqualified items in the test report:
1. Material composition adjustment: Ensure that the PP plastic materials and all additives used comply with FDA regulations and standards. Certain additives such as stabilizers, colorants, etc. may need to be replaced or adjusted to ensure that they do not exceed the amount of migration allowed by the FDA.
2. Production process optimization: Improve the production process, such as adjusting processing temperature, pressure or time, to reduce the migration of harmful substances.
3. Migration amount control: If the test results show that the migration amount exceeds the standard, the migration amount needs to be reduced by improving the formula or production process to ensure that excessive chemical substances are not released into the food under simulated food contact conditions.
4. Sensory requirements: Ensure that the product does not contaminate food in terms of color, smell, etc.
5. Labeling and labeling: According to FDA requirements, update product labeling and labeling information to ensure that all necessary information is correctly labeled.
6. Repeat testing: After making the above improvements, FDA testing may need to be re-conducted to verify the effectiveness of the improvement measures.
7. Compliance assessment: Conduct a more comprehensive compliance assessment, including an assessment of all materials and processes used in the production process to ensure that they do not affect the safety of the final product.
8. Professional consultation: In some cases, it may be necessary to consult a professional third-party testing agency or regulatory consultant to obtain more specific improvement suggestions and technical support.
Please note that these improvement measures need to be determined based on specific test reports and non-conformities. Manufacturers should pay close attention to the latest regulations and standards issued by the FDA to ensure that products always comply with regulatory requirements.
