In this issue, we take a look at the main reason why food contact materials and appliances have been repeatedly notified by the South Korean authorities - the dissolved specifications exceed the standard.
1, South Korea informed the refusal to enter the non-conforming food contact materials and appliances information from January to November 2020, China's food exports to South Korea has 140 batches of products due to dissolved specifications exceeded the standards of South Korea informed, refused entry, other countries to South Korea products also have similar problems.
, however, China is all countries in the food contact materials and appliances by South Korea to inform the most unqualified products and the largest number of countries.
e.g. in January 2020 China's rice cooker due to the total amount of polypropylene dissolved by South Korea was informed by South Korea, in June Japan's coffee supplies due to acrylic potassium permanganate consumption exceeded the standard by South Korea, in September, Italy's kitchenware due to nickel exceeding the standard was informed by South Korea, was notified of non-conforming products generally for withdrawal or destruction.

On June 23, 2020, The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of South Korea announced that a South Korean food manufacturing and processing company had used food packaging that had not been declared as an import, and that the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety had ordered it to stop selling and recall the product.
3. On February 4, 2020, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) issued instructions for the import inspection of ceramic products in the category of Chinese-made food appliances, which were inspected for the ceramics in the category of food appliances produced by FUJIAN DEHUA GENTLE PORCELAIN CO., Ltd. of China.
December 8, 2020, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of Korea issued instructions for the import inspection of Chinese-made methamine resins, which are manufactured by DonGGUANAI SHIPAI WING FAT PLASTIC and IronWARE PRODUCT FACTORY in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, and the inspection item is melamine.
4. China and South Korea's supervision of food contact materials and appliances requires the Korea Code of Appliances and Container Packaging to specify the common standards and specifications of Korean food contact materials, specifications of various materials, equipment and container packaging test methods and other related content.
General standards and specifications from the food contact materials of the general manufacturing standards, general specifications, specifications for different uses, standards and specifications applicable, standards and specifications of qualified non-conformity determination, sample collection and treatment methods, preservation and circulation standards and other aspects of the provisions.

At the same time, in the GB9685-2016 National Standard for Food Safety, the use of additives for food contact materials and products specifies the principles for the use of additives for food contact materials and products in China, the varieties of additives allowed to be used, the scope of use, the maximum amount of use, the specific amount of migration or maximum residue, the limit of the total amount of specific migration and other restrictive requirements.
standard also includes monomers or other starters of polymerization reactions of some of the underlying polymers used in the processing of food contact materials and products.
Small: Food partner network through this year's monitoring of foreign early warning information can be found that South Korea has repeatedly informed such non-conforming information, but there are still many domestic and foreign enterprises do not understand South Korea for this kind of food contact materials and appliances supervision, products are still informed by the ROK situation still occurs from time to time.
In order to ensure the smooth development of future trade with South Korea, we summarize the following points for the reference of Korean enterprises: 1. China and South Korea have differences in regulations, enterprises should understand the target countries before export for their products, China and South Korea for the same food contact materials and containers of the dissolution specifications may have different requirements, in accordance with regulatory requirements for product control.
2. Food contact materials and appliances in excess of the dissolution specifications will cause a variety of hazards to the human body, such as: the total amount of dissolved excess will be non-volatile substances migrated to the water, if over-absorbed by the human body, may cause harm to various organs and the nervous system.
can harm human health, damage human liver and heart and lung function, and lead to dermatitis and skin irritation.
Lead is a toxic heavy metal that is very harmful to human body, lead and its compounds will enter the body will cause harm to human nerves, hematologic, digestion, kidneys, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, if the content of food is too high will cause lead poisoning.
control of food contact materials and appliances to dissolve specifications need to strengthen the product production process supervision, proper storage, quality inspection and so on.
