Abstract

This work aims to analyze the similarities and differences between Chinese and EU standards for infant and young children food contact products so as to provide a basis for the improvement of domestic product standards. Through reviewing the standards of Chinese and EU for infant food contact products and combining the real problems in the use of Chinese infant products, the deficiencies of domestic standards are analyzed, and the major directions of future standardization work are prospected. Both China and EU attach great importance to the quality and safety of feeding bottles and teats, with strict limits for high concern substances. However, structures of two standards are different, and EU standard is more comprehensive and stringent. The definition of infant and young children is ambiguous in national food safety standard system of China, and the national and mandatory standards for feeding tools, drinking bottles and cups are missing. The health and safety requirements in infant and young children food contact product standards are strict but, remain to be improved. The national standards covering hygiene performance, product structure design and mechanical properties are needed to be developed.
