The Color Coated Aluminum Sheet in Food Packaging

In food packaging, color coated aluminium sheet is suitable for the production of aluminum bottle cap, can lids, cans, food packaging boxes and packaging sealing bags.

What is food grade aluminum

It can be used for aluminum products that come into direct or indirect contact with food. Such products must meet specific safety requirements to ensure that they do not contaminate food during use and thus protect consumer health.

Safety requirements

1. Material composition: Food-grade aluminum products must use high-purity aluminum, strictly control the impurity content, especially heavy metal elements harmful to the human body, such as lead, cadmium, etc., must be lower than the limit standards stipulated by the state.

2. Surface treatment: The surface of aluminum products should be properly treated, such as anodizing, to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. At the same time, the surface coating or treatment materials must also meet food safety standards and must not contain toxic and harmful substances.

Production process requirements

The production process of edible-grade aluminum products should strictly follow relevant standards and specifications. From raw material procurement to processing and molding, to subsequent surface treatment and quality inspection, every link must be strictly controlled to ensure the safety and stability of the product.

International food-grade aluminum plate standards

Internationally, the European Commission and the US FDA have respectively formulated standards and requirements for food-grade aluminum plates. The European Commission has adopted EU Regulation No. 1935/2004, which stipulates that all materials in contact with food must meet certain requirements. Among them, for aluminum materials, the regulation stipulates indicators such as the amount of aluminum dissolved and the content of metal impurities. In addition, the US FDA has also evaluated the safety of aluminum foil and other aluminum materials for food (such as cans, etc.), and proposed corresponding technical requirements and testing methods.

Quality Inspection and Certification

Food-grade aluminum must undergo strict quality inspection before leaving the factory. This includes chemical composition analysis of materials, physical property testing, and limited detection of toxic and hazardous substances. Only products that meet the standards can obtain the corresponding food-grade certification and enter the market for sale. Haomei Alumium follows the strict standards to ensure food safety.
