2014-05-19 China Food Machinery Network

Introduction: In recent years , food packaging problems emerge , food safety and consumer health posed a threat to food packaging do not meet the standard requirements of national policy for profit or production companies violate the requirements of the phenomenon , but also for the health of consumers of potential problems , may result in severe major food safety incidents . National Standard Authority , said the paper , in order to regulate food contact products , to protect the safety of consumers , the future of coated paper for food packaging , molded pulp tableware will develop national standards.

Many kinds of coated paper for food packaging , dosage, are in direct contact with food materials . At present, there is no corresponding standard for that type of product specifications. GB will provide a new formulation of the safety performance of coated paper for food packaging (the health indicators , raw materials ) , physical properties ( quantitative bias , banners thickness difference , the film quantitative bias, the degree of adhesion , resistance to grease degrees, leak resistance, dyne degree delivery of water ) and other indicators.

Molded pulp refers to pulp tableware by molding , molding , drying and other processes in the system of paper tableware , has molded cups, molded bowl, molded paper lunch boxes , molded trays , molded paper plates and so on. Such products using virgin fiber pulp as raw material, the strength is superior to other similar products , great value and recycling , biodegradable, is regarded as a green , environmentally friendly products , but not yet for the molded paper tableware national standards. Paper products in order to improve food standards , the National Standard Authority will develop a paper " molded pulp tableware " national standards. Safety performance standards will provide molded pulp tableware ( health indicators , raw materials ) , physical properties ( size deviation , deviation capacity , leakage resistance, heat resistance, cup body stiffness , load performance, compression performance, cover fold test, drop test , water ) and other indicators.

From 2010 to date, the International Food Packaging Association has released the fourth consecutive year , " food packaging and consumer product safety concerns alerts " on issues such as excessive packaging , benzene ink widely used in food packaging , food packaging additives so difficult to detect . Aroused great attention the news media , consumers, enterprises and government departments, part of the problem has improved , but some problems still exist , and even some new problems have emerged , the unit needs to pay attention to the health of consumers in the first place , with the conscience of production yield , yield operate with a conscience .

National standards and policies are constantly updated and improved , while the problem of food packaging materials, food additives and other related products are constantly being discovered . International Food Packaging Association as an influential domestic industry associations , always pay attention to industry trends, released " 2014 food packaging and consumer product safety concerns warning ," I hope businesses to strictly implement the relevant policies and standards , to achieve self-discipline, self, self- Richard , from the production source to ensure quality and safety of food contact products.
