In the Chinese market, a variety of materials and products that come into contact with food are required to undergo GB4806 food contact material testing. Disposable tableware is subject to GB4806 food contact material testing in China. The main testing items include but are not limited to the following aspects:
1. Physical and chemical performance testing
Evaporation residues in different food simulation liquids:
Evaluate the residual substances that may migrate into food after tableware comes into contact with different food simulants.
Potassium permanganate consumption:
It reflects the content of substances in tableware that can be oxidized by potassium permanganate and is an indicator for evaluating the purity of tableware materials.
Heavy metal content:
Detect heavy metal elements that may be present in tableware, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc., to ensure that the content of these elements is within a safe range.
2. Hazardous substance migration detection
Toxic and harmful monomer residues:
For plastic tableware, detect the possible presence of toxic and harmful monomers, such as acrylonitrile monomer, vinyl chloride monomer, etc.
Specific migration volume:
Evaluate the amount of migration of specific substances from tableware into food to ensure safe limits are not exceeded.
3. Microbiological testing
Microbial indicators:
Detect microorganisms that may exist on the surface and inside the tableware, such as coliforms, salmonella, etc., to ensure the hygiene and safety of the tableware.
4. Label identification inspection
Labels and Instructions:
Check whether the labels and instructions of the tableware comply with relevant regulatory requirements, including product name, material, production date, shelf life, usage precautions and other information.
5. Other specific testing items
Depending on the specific materials and uses of disposable tableware, the following specific testing items may also be required:
Decolorization test:
Evaluate whether the tableware will decolorize during contact with food and the safety of the decolorizing substance.
Heat resistance test:
Test the stability and safety of microwaveable disposable tableware under high temperature conditions.
Physical performance test:
Such as load-bearing performance, drop performance, etc., to ensure the durability and safety of tableware during use.
In summary, when disposable tableware is tested for GB4806 food contact materials in China, multiple aspects of testing items need to be comprehensively considered to ensure the food safety and use safety of the tableware.
