The number of food safety incidents around the world is outrageous! In order to protect consumers' health, market regulators in various countries not only strictly control the food itself, but also comprehensively scrutinize the hygiene and safety of food packaging and tableware. For Taiwanese cross-border sellers, understanding and complying with these regulations has become the key to export success!
The U.S. marketplace has a dizzying array of regulations, with the FDA's 21 CFR federal regulations serving as the foundation for ensuring the safety and quality of food and drugs. California's unique CA65 law is even more stringent, requiring manufacturers to label products with a warning if they contain a listed hazardous substance. The TPCH Packaging Materials Toxic Substances Clearinghouse also specializes in restricting heavy metals, phthalates and PFAS in packaging to protect consumers.
The European Union's regulatory system is one of the most stringent in the world, and hardly any material escapes detection. (Within the framework of EC No. 1935/2004, there are specific regulations for plastics, ceramics, coatings, silicone rubber, metals, paper and cardboard. Cross-border brand owners must pay special attention to the EU's stringent restrictions on SVHC substances of very high concern and PFAS perfluoro/polyfluoroalkyl substances!
The Japanese market is based on the Food Sanitation Law (No. 233) and Food Additives Standards, which is a relatively simple system but equally stringent in enforcement. In Taiwan, there are a number of regulations such as the Food Safety and Health Administration Law and the Code of Good Hygienic Practice for Foods, which serve as the gatekeepers for the domestic market.
Of course, there are other common requirements, such as green label certification, physical performance tests, sensory evaluation, biodegradable tests, etc. These are all important to ensure product safety and environmental protection. For e-commerce entrepreneurs who want to operate in the international market in the long run, these tests should not be ignored!
