    Food Contact Materials

    The quality of food contact materials has a direct impact on food safety. CTI provides Food Contact Materials Testing Service to enterprises, to confirm whether the product meets the requirements of China, the European Union, the United States, Japan, Korea and other countries. CTI can check the safety risks of packaging materials for food companies.

    Food Contact Materials

    ◉    Background

    Food contact materials directly affect food safety. Many countries regard the safety of food contact materials as an extension of food safety. Poor quality or inappropriate materials will not only fail to protect food, but will also migrate some harmful substances into food, and then affect human health.

    ◉    Service Content

    Many countries have certain control and requirements for food contact materials. The three regions with more in-depth research and greater influence are the European Union, the United States, and East Asia (China, Japan, Korea). The current food contact material regulatory system in China is biased towards the EU system. There are certain differences in the legal systems of different countries, and their control requirements are also different.

    CTI can provide customers the testing, consulting and training services, on food contact materials in different countries, in accordance with the needs of enterprises.
