The major hazards for the 12 notifications on FCMs are migration of hazardous substances such as formaldehyde, cadmium, manganese, aluminum, DEHP or too high level of overall migration.

From the products notified in January 2016, almost all notifications on food contact materials originated from China (11 notifications, accounting for 91.67%).



The notifications are classified as border rejection, alert, information for follow-up or attention according to the risk levels.

C&K Testing hereby reminds FCMs-related enterprises to enhance the product quality by learning more about the reasons for notifications.
