Applicable standards of the hottest food packaging

The applicable standards of food packaging paper

recently, some media reported that the excessive fluorescent substances in paper containers such as instant noodles and milk tea would endanger health. The relevant information about the applicable standards of food packaging paper is introduced as follows: China's "Hygienic standard for base paper for food packaging" clearly stipulates the hygienic indicators of lead, arsenic, fluorescent substances, decolorization test, coliform group and pathogenic bacteria in base paper that directly contacts food, and formulates the supporting detection method standard "analysis method of hygienic standard for base paper for food packaging". The outer material of food packaging is not applicable to the hygienic standard for base paper for food packaging

at present, paper cups and bowls for instant noodles, milk tea and other food products are generally double-layer film coated products. The paper materials in direct contact with food should meet the hygienic standard for base paper for food packaging, and the film coated materials should meet the corresponding standards. The outer materials of food packaging containers should avoid direct contact with food, and take measures to prevent the migration of fluorescent substances to food and avoid harm to human health,
