Requirements for Decorative Ceramicware To Be Deemed not for Food Use

概要

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its regulations to require that decorative ceramicware bear a conspicuous stick-on label on a surface that is clearly visible to consumers and a permanent statement on the exterior surface of the base of the ceramicware stating that the piece is not for food use, and that it may poison food. Alternatively, the regulation provides that a hole may be bored through the possible food-contact surface of the piece. This final rule is intended to ensure that decorative ceramicware is not mistakenly used to hold food.
