Ceramic liner thermos cup is a widely used thermos cup product. It not only has excellent heat preservation effect, but also the material is safe and non-toxic. In order to ensure the food safety of consumers, the European Union has issued the "Guidelines for the Testing of Food Contact Materials", which aims to standardize and supervise the use of food contact materials such as ceramic-lined thermos cups. As a container in direct contact with food, ceramic-lined thermos cups need to pass the U.S. FDA food contact material inspection.
U.S. FDA’s food contact material testing guidelines:
1. Understand FDA food contact material testing requirements: FDA has a series of strict requirements for food contact materials, including material safety, stability and no release of harmful substances. As a food contact material, the composition and performance of ceramic-lined thermos cups need to comply with relevant FDA regulations.
2. Choose a suitable testing agency: Choose a testing agency with FDA-approved qualifications to test the food contact materials of the ceramic liner thermos cup to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
3. Provide product information: Provide detailed information about the ceramic liner thermos cup to the testing agency, including material composition, production process, usage conditions, etc. This information helps the testing agency fully understand the product's characteristics so that it can conduct accurate testing.
4. Conduct necessary tests: According to the requirements of the FDA, the testing agency will conduct a series of tests on the ceramic liner thermos cup, including contaminant testing, breakage testing, and temperature stability testing. These tests are designed to evaluate the safety, durability and performance of ceramic-lined tumblers under different temperature conditions.
5. Contaminant testing: Ensure that the ceramic liner will not release harmful substances or heavy metals into food or drinks, such as lead, cadmium and other heavy metals, in order to comply with the safety limits stipulated by the FDA.
6. Breakage test: Evaluate the strength and impact resistance of the ceramic liner thermos cup to ensure that it is not easily broken or produces dangerous fragments under normal use conditions.
7. Temperature stability test: Evaluate the performance and stability of the ceramic-lined thermos cup under different temperature conditions to ensure that it can be safely used in food and beverages at various temperatures.
8. Obtain the test report and certificate of conformity: After the test is completed, the testing agency will issue a test report and issue a certificate of compliance with the FDA test based on the test results.
Please note that the FDA food contact material testing of ceramic liner thermal cups is a professional and complex process. It is recommended to cooperate with a professional testing agency to ensure that the product can comply with the relevant requirements of the FDA and enter the US market smoothly. At the same time, manufacturers should continue to pay attention to the latest developments in FDA regulations to ensure that products always comply with relevant regulations.
