Service Background

At present, food safety issues caused by harmful substances in food contact materials occur frequently. Terms such as "plasticizers, bisphenol A, heavy metals" have repeatedly appeared in the public eye. When paying attention to food safety, the safety of food contact materials is increasingly receiving widespread attention from all walks of life.

Food contact materials have a dual meaning for food safety: first, compliant materials can protect food from external environmental pollution and keep the moisture, ingredients, quality and other characteristics of the food itself unchanged; second, the chemical composition of the material itself may migrate into the food. When the migration exceeds a certain amount, it will affect the hygiene and safety of the food in contact with it.
