Know About the Safety of Melamine-Ware
August 21st 2021
Melamine tableware, commonly known as ‘Imitation porcelain tableware’, is made of A1 or A5 grade melamine resin as raw material as lookalike as porcelain tableware. This is durable, virtually unbreakable, corrosion-resistant, lightweight, heat-holding, odourless, toxic-free and highly plasticity. Melamine tableware and kitchenware are a popular choice because these are in affordable prices and a wide array of colours and shapes, such as chopsticks, dishes, bowls, cups and ladles.
China is one of the main manufacturers and exporters of melamine tableware in the world. It has established a comprehensive national food safety standard to regulate the “General Safety Requirements on Food Contact Materials and Articles (GB4806.1-2016)”, ensuring that the food contact articles comply with food safety requirements, are traceable and provide clear and authentic product information. In terms of protecting consumers’ right to know, these products must be marked with precautions for use, the national quality statement, usage specification such as intended purpose, condition, temperature, etc.
Moreover, many studies on melamine tableware have pointed out that the migration of melamine and formaldehyde is low under the correct using conditions, and most of the samples in the test complied with the National Specific Migration Limits of the European Union. Since the quantity of released substances is insignificant and has no obvious adverse effects on health, there is no need for the public to worry of harmful substances from the melamine-ware entering into our body.
