How to test French DGCCRF food contact materials on kitchen chopping boards?

Date:2024-04-19 10:31:22 Classification :【question】 Visits:

As food contact materials, kitchen chopping boards need to undergo French DGCCRF testing when sold in the French market. French DGCCRF food contact material testing of kitchen cutting boards is a rigorous process designed to ensure the safety of cutting boards when in contact with food.



What information is required for French DGCCRF testing of kitchen chopping boards?

1. Basic product information: Provide detailed product information of the chopping board, including product name, model, specification, quantity, etc. This information helps testing agencies understand the basic situation and testing needs of the product.

2. Production process and formula: Provide the production process and formula of the chopping board, including the use of raw materials, additives, auxiliaries, etc. This information is critical for conducting comprehensive migration testing and total organic volatiles testing.

3. Food contact type: Indicate the type of food that the chopping board comes into contact with for migration testing and sensory testing. Different food types may have different requirements for cutting board materials, so providing this information can help more accurately assess the safety of the product.

4. Packaging and sealing material information: If the cutting board has specific packaging and sealing materials, relevant information about these materials needs to be provided. This information helps testing agencies evaluate the overall safety of the product.

5. Certification certificate: If the chopping board has passed other relevant certifications, such as ISO certification, FDA certification, etc., these certification certificates need to be provided. These certificates serve as additional proof of product quality and help to increase trust in the product on the French market.



General steps for French DGCCRF testing:

1. Sample preparation: First, you need to prepare the chopping board sample to be tested and make sure it is clean and has not been processed in any way to reflect its true state.

2. Material composition analysis: Conduct a detailed analysis of the material composition of the chopping board, including the types of wood used, additives, coatings, etc. This information is crucial for subsequent testing.

3. Sensory analysis: Through observation, smell and touch, the color, smell, feel, etc. of the cutting board are evaluated to detect whether there are any sensory issues that may affect food safety.

4. Migration test: Migration test is the core part of DGCCRF detection. In this step, the simulated food is brought into contact with the cutting board and tested under certain temperature and time conditions. By detecting changes in ingredients in simulated food, the safety of the chopping board material can be judged, especially whether there is a risk of harmful substances migrating into the food.

5. Heavy metal testing: Carry out heavy metal testing on chopping board materials, especially for harmful heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. If these heavy metals exceed standards, they may cause harm to human health.

6. Hazardous substance testing: Detect formaldehyde, benzene and other harmful substances that may be present in the cutting board material. If these substances exceed standards, they may also pose a threat to food safety.

7. Report issuance: Based on the above test results, a detailed test report will be issued. If the cutting board meets the safety requirements of the French DGCCRF for food contact materials, it can obtain the corresponding certification.
