◉ Introduction to the Regulations on Food Contact Materials in Japan
Japan's food contact material testing regulations are regulated by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, and Japan Food Sanitation Law 370 (Japan Food Sanitation Law 370), referred to as JFSL370.
The control scope of Japanese food material contact test JFSL370 is mainly metal, glass, rubber, ceramics, plastic, paper, silica gel, organic coating, wood, etc. Among them, plastics include PVC, PE, PP, PS, PVDC, PET, PMMA, PC , PVOH and more than 13 kinds. Different material test items are also different.
◉ Common Materials
The control scope of LWA 370 on food-grade materials mainly includes rubber, metal, glass, ceramics, enamel enamel, plastic, paper, organic coating, and wood. Japan JFSL370 has different test items for different test materials.
◉ Common Products
Tableware: bowls, cups, cutlery, spoons, pots, plates, plates, chopsticks, trays, napkins, straws, etc.;
Kitchen utensils: knives, pots, shovels, pots, peelers, grills/forks, etc.;
Kitchen appliances: juicer, soymilk maker, coffee machine, kettle, oven, microwave oven, rice cooker, disinfection cabinet, dishwasher, mixer, toaster, range hood, gas stove, induction cooker, etc.;
Food packaging materials: fresh-keeping film, fresh-keeping bags, fresh-keeping boxes, storage jars, seasoning bottles, airtight jars, tablecloths, paper, etc.;
Children's products: feeding bottles, pacifiers, teeth grinders, thermos cups, milk warmers, complementary food cooking tools, etc.
Other products that are in direct contact with or may come into contact with food are involved in the test scope of DM21371.
