Recently, a company at Weihai Port in Shandong Province applied for inspection and imported a batch of Korean made kitchenware, including 960 stainless steel steam curtains, 93 kilograms, with a value of 480 US dollars. The Shandong Weihai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau found that the detection value of "chromium" in the batch of stainless steel steam curtains was 4.0 milligrams per square decimeter, which does not meet the limit requirement of 0.4 milligrams per square decimeter for "chromium" in the national standard "National Food Safety Standard Stainless Steel Products" (GB 9684-2011). Therefore, the safety and health project inspection has been determined as unqualified and has been returned for transportation.

It is understood that when chromium enters human cells, it can cause damage to internal organs such as the liver and kidneys. Accumulation in the human body can be carcinogenic and may induce genetic mutations, posing a serious threat to human health.
Nowadays, harmful elements and substances in utensils, kitchenware, packaging containers, and packaging materials that come into contact with food have become an important source of food contamination and a new concern for food safety. In order to effectively maintain the health of domestic consumers, Weihai Bureau reminds relevant enterprises that before importing food contact products, they should understand the relevant national standards and regulations from the inspection and quarantine department, and communicate with foreign shippers to clarify that food contact products imported into China should comply with the mandatory requirements of China's national standards. At the same time, a claim clause is stipulated in the trade contract, which allows for the avoidance of economic losses through claims in the event of quality issues with imported products.
