Candy boxes, as food packaging materials, need to undergo EU LFGB testing. LFGB is the German food and daily necessities law for food, tobacco products, cosmetics and other daily necessities. It is also one of the most important food safety control regulations in the EU.
Candy boxes are used as food packaging materials. When conducting German LFGB testing, the items that need to be tested mainly include the following aspects:
1. Detection of Hazardous Substances
Heavy metal detection:
Test the content of heavy metals that may be present in the candy box materials, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, etc., to ensure that these heavy metals will not migrate into the food.
Plasticizer and additive testing:
Check candy boxes for plasticizers (such as phthalates) and other additives and assess whether they comply with relevant standards.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection:
Test candy box materials for volatile organic compounds that may evaporate during use and contaminate food.
2. Migration test
Total migration test:
Test the total amount of substances migrated into the food from the candy box under simulated food environment. This is usually tested in different media such as water, ethanol, acetic acid, etc.
Specific migration volume test:
Test the migration of specific harmful substances (such as heavy metals, plasticizers, etc.) from candy box materials into food.
3. Sensory test
Odor and taste assessment:
Evaluate whether the candy box changes the smell, taste or color of the food when in contact with the food to ensure that the sensory quality of the food is not affected.
4. Material Characteristics Testing
Material composition analysis:
Analyze the material composition of the candy box to ensure that it meets the LFGB requirements for food contact materials.
Physical performance test:
Evaluate the physical properties of the candy box such as heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength to ensure that it will not release harmful substances due to physical factors during use.
