Melamine tableware is a kind of tableware with safety hazards. Because the ingredients are unqualified, melamine tableware will encounter problems. In fact, the melamine tableware is applicable to the "Sanitary Standard for Melamine-Formaldehyde Forming Products for Food Containers and Packaging Materials". What ingredients must be labeled on the melamine tableware?
The "Sanitary Standards for the Use of Additives for Food Containers and Packaging Materials" had been implemented on June 1 2016. It stipulates that the raw material melamine-formaldehyde resin (namely, melamine resin) should not release substances harmful to health under the recommended conditions of use; in the detection of sanitary physical and chemical indicators, The determination of the migration amount of melamine monomer was increased.
For the labeling of melamine tableware, the raw material of tableware is clearly required for the first time, and the “food grade” and “ heating in the microwave oven forbidden” are to be notified. The outer packaging is more clearly required to be marked with “food grade” and the manufacturer, product name, conditions of use, types of materials, etc are indicated.
In the standard, the unit of physical and chemical indicators evaporation residue, potassium permanganate consumption, heavy metal, and formaldehyde monomer migration was revised from ra9/L (mg/L) to m9/dm2 (mg/dm2). Experts pointed out that this standard is equivalent to 15m9/L, which is twice as strict as the original standard 30m9/L. Urea-formaldehyde resin in the "toxic porcelain-like meal" turmoil that has received much attention before, experts said that the above two standards are not included in the scope of use.
However, the China Plastics Processing Industry Association held a press conference recently, saying that the uremic resin-coated melamine resin tableware is also safe, and called on the state to develop relevant standards.
