Although stainless steel has many advantages, not all types of stainless steel can be used to make tableware. Stainless steel is also divided into many different types, and each type of stainless steel has its own functions. Especially for stainless steel used to make tableware, there are strict requirements and regulations.
After being made into tableware, stainless steel will come into direct contact with food. If it does not meet the standards, it may pose a threat to our health. Therefore, China also has strict regulations for food and stainless steel that come into direct contact with food.
At present, only stainless steel that meets the mandatory national standard GB4806.9-2016 "National Food Safety Standard for Metal Materials and Products in Contact with Food" can be called food grade stainless steel. In this standard, the upper limit of the migration of arsenic, cadmium, lead, chromium, and nickel in stainless steel products under specific measurement methods is set.
Even though 304 stainless steel is a food grade stainless steel that we are familiar with, it can be used to make ordinary prescription dispensaries. In addition, 316 stainless steel has a higher nickel content than 304, so its corrosion resistance is also better and stronger. In addition, other elements are also added during the production process. Therefore, this type of 316 stainless steel is mainly used in the food industry or surgical equipment.
When purchasing stainless steel tableware or other kitchen utensils, we must make sure to check whether it is labeled as 304 or 316. Other types of stainless steel must not be purchased, especially low-quality stainless steel, which may contain some heavy metal elements and pose great harm to our health.
