Testing - Food Contact Materials & Kitchenware
The safety and quality of food products extends beyond just the food products themselves. Anything that can directly or indirectly come into contact with food products such as cutlery, cookware, kitchenware, storage containers and other food contact materials are all subjected to stringent regulatory standards and directives to ensure that they are safe to use and do not transfer any substances or hazardous chemicals to the foods that they come into contact with.
At STC, we offer comprehensive food contact materials testing services to assist manufacturers, suppliers and retailers ensure that products comply with relevant food contact material regulations in countries such as Europe, United States, China and Japan. We also offer quality and performance testing services to verify products claims and technical analysis for product improvements to meet industry standards and consumer expectations.
