Plastic is one of the frequently used materials for food utensils, food containers or packaging. In this study, food utensils, food containers or packaging on the market that are intended for high temperature application, and contain plastics on their food contact surfaces are sampled to understand the condition of compliance according to Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation and related regulations. Results demonstrate that most of the 50 samples comply with the labeling and sanitation standards, while 7 samples were found non-compliance in labeling, and 2 samples found suspected non-compliance of sanitation standard in migration test. The suspected non-compliant cases have been forwarded to local government for further administrative processing. In the future, TFDA will still guide and supervise the food businesses to follow the regulations. Consumers are advised to choose food utensils, food containers or packaging with comprehensive labeling, and to follow product instructions for application thus to use them at ease. |
