Air fryer is a machine that can use air for "frying", mainly using air to replace the hot oil in the original fryer to make food cooked; At the same time, the hot air also blows away the moisture on the surface of the food, making the ingredients achieve a similar effect of frying. What materials are tested for food contact materials in air fryers by the US FDA?

The FDA food contact material testing for air fryers mainly includes the following materials:

1. Organic coating: such as PTFE.

2. Metal and electroplated products: such as stainless steel.

3. Paper products: such as food packaging paper.

4. Wood: such as wood used for food contact.

5. ABS: such as ABS plastic used for food contact.

6. Acrylic resin: such as acrylic resin used in food contact.

7. Other food contact materials: Depending on the specific characteristics and usage scenarios of the product, it may be necessary to test other related food contact materials.


The FDA food contact material testing process for air fryers in the United States is as follows:

1. Submission of application materials: To apply for FDA testing and certification, relevant application materials need to be submitted, including product instructions, chemical composition, manufacturing process, quality control plan, sales channels, and other information. According to different product types, the FDA may also require clinical trial data, labeling, and packaging information.

2. Conduct FDA review: The FDA will review the application materials and conduct product testing and evaluation. FDA's testing and evaluation typically includes audits and inspections of product ingredients, processes, labeling, packaging, quality control, and other aspects.

3. Approval and issuance of certificates: If the application materials are approved, the FDA will issue an FDA certification certificate to the applicant. The certificate includes the labeling and packaging requirements of the product, as well as the scope and limitations of the product's use.
