Does the surface pattern ink for drinking cups exported to Europe and the United States also need to pass the FDA inspection?

With the rapid development of the Internet, it has not only narrowed the distance between people around the world, but also integrated global aesthetic standards. Chinese culture is liked by more countries around the world, and the different cultures of other countries also attract the Chinese market.

Since the last century, China has become a global foundry country, especially the drinking glass industry. According to statistics from world-renowned data companies in 2020, more than 80% of the world's water cups of various materials are from China. Among them, the production capacity of stainless steel water cups directly accounts for more than 90% of the total global orders.

Starting in 2018, the water cup market began to produce patterns based on creativity, but the main sales destinations for water cups with large-scale patterns are still in the European and American markets. The process used to print patterns on water cups of different materials is different, and the inks are also different.Do these inks used on the water cups need to be tested when they are exported? In particular, is this requirement very strict and necessary for the European and American markets?

The ink must reach food grade, which is required by international standards. But not all European and American buyers will clearly raise this issue, and there are also many buyers who ignore this issue. Many people will think habitually.

On the one hand, they think that ink will not be harmful and will not seriously exceed the standard. At the same time, this problem is relatively vague in the European and American markets. Second, it is believed that the ink printing is on the outer surface of the water cup, which will not come into contact with water and will not let people touch it when drinking water.

However, some world-renowned brands in Europe and the United States are still very strict on this issue. When purchasing, it will be clearly stated that the ink must pass FDA or similar testing, must meet the food grade required by the other party, and must not contain heavy metals or harmful substances.

So everyone should try not to use substandard ink for production when exporting water cups or producing water cups. At the same time, consumers should also be aware that once they find that the printed pattern on the water cup is printed on the mouth of the cup, the mouth will come in contact with it when drinking water. If you can't get the manufacturer to clearly provide the ink properties, try not to use it.
