Fresh box French DGCCRF food contact material testing

Date:2025-01-07 09:35:48 Classification :【question】 Visits:
As food contact materials, crisper boxes need to undergo food contact material testing by DGCCRF (French National Food Safety Authority) before entering the French market. The following is a detailed analysis of the French DGCCRF food contact material testing of crisper boxes:

1. Necessity of testing

Fresh-keeping boxes are in direct contact with food, and their safety and hygiene are directly related to the preservation quality of food and the health of consumers. Therefore, according to relevant French regulations, crisper boxes must pass the DGCCRF test and obtain the corresponding certificate before they can be legally sold and used in the French market.

2. Test items

For food contact materials such as crisper boxes, DGCCRF’s testing items usually include the following aspects:

Migration test:

Comprehensive migration test: Evaluate the total amount of substances that may migrate into food from the crisper in a simulated food environment.

Specific migration test: Test the migration amount of certain specific substances (such as heavy metals, plasticizers, etc.).

Sensory test:

By smelling, tasting, etc., evaluate whether the crisper box will have any adverse effects on the sensory properties of the food (such as taste, odor, color, etc.) after contact with the food.

Heavy metal testing:

Detect the dissolved amount of heavy metal elements (such as lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.) that may be contained in the crisper to ensure that it is within a safe range.

Chemical substance testing:

Test the chemical substances (such as vinyl chloride monomer, formaldehyde, etc.) that may be contained in the crisper to ensure that they are below safety limits.

3. Testing standards

When carrying out DGCCRF testing on fresh-keeping boxes, the following standards need to be followed:

European Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004: This is the EU's general regulation on food contact materials, which stipulates the basic requirements and test methods for food contact materials.

French DGCCRF 2004-64: This is a specific regulation formulated by France for food contact materials. It provides detailed regulations on the test items, test methods and limits of food contact materials such as crisper boxes.


4. Testing process

The process for DGCCRF testing of fresh-keeping boxes usually includes the following steps:

Sample preparation: Randomly select a certain number of crisper boxes from the production batch as testing samples.

Sample processing: According to the requirements of the testing standards, the samples are appropriately processed, such as cleaning, disinfection, etc.

Test preparation: Prepare the equipment and reagents required for testing, such as simulated food, test solutions, etc.

Test implementation: Carry out tests according to the requirements of the testing standards, and record the test data and results.

Result analysis: Analyze the test data to determine whether the crisper box meets the testing requirements of DGCCRF.

Issue a report: Based on the test results, issue a test report and give a conclusion on whether it is qualified or not.

5. Things to note

Compliance: The production and sales of crisper boxes must strictly comply with the requirements of French DGCCRF regulations to ensure product safety and compliance.

Labeling: The material, production date, shelf life and other information of the product should be clearly marked on the crisper box, as well as a statement that it complies with DGCCRF regulations.

Quality control: Quality control of raw materials and finished products should be strengthened during the production process to ensure stable and reliable product quality.

To sum up, as food contact materials, crisper boxes must undergo DGCCRF food contact material testing before entering the French market. Through strict testing processes and standards, the safety and hygiene of crisper boxes can be ensured and the health rights of consumers can be protected.
