Food safety incidents have been occurring all over the world, preventing you from accomplishing your export goals! In order to provide the public with a safe and secure eating environment, market regulators not only pay attention to the food itself, but also strictly scrutinize the hygiene and safety of food packaging and tableware. Cross-border e-commerce sellers need to understand the differences between the laws and regulations of each market in order to have a smooth customs clearance!
Compliance requirements in the U.S. marketplace are complex, with the FDA 21 CFR Title 21 being the cornerstone of regulations to ensure the safety and quality of food and drugs. California's CA65 law is even more stringent, requiring products containing regulated hazardous substances to be labeled with a warning message. What really helps you achieve compliance is the TPCH Packaging Materials Toxic Substances Clearinghouse requirement, which restricts hazardous substances such as heavy metals and phthalates.
The European Union market has an even more elaborate regulatory system, which cannot be simply followed. Within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, there are specific regulations for different materials: Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 for plastics and Directive 84/500/EEC and its amendments for ceramics. In addition, there are standards for coatings, silicone rubber, metal, paper and cardboard, which catch many cross-border brand owners by surprise.
The Japanese market is based on the Food Sanitation Law (No. 233) and food additives specifications, which are simpler but equally stringent compared to European and American markets. In Taiwan, there are a number of regulations such as the Food Safety and Sanitation Control Law and the Sanitation Standards for Food Apparatus and Containers and Packaging.
In addition to the basic regulations, what is even more valuable is that there are also a number of testing requirements such as green labeling, physical property tests, sensory evaluation, biodegradable tests, etc., which are all crucial steps to ensure product safety.
