Homeware & Food Contact Safety Testing for Global Markets

Unitec specializes in testing materials and articles intended for food contact, helping brands ensure their products meet the strict safety and compliance standards required by U.S. state laws, national regulations, and international frameworks. With a combination of accredited lab testing, regulatory expertise, and proven technical analysis, we support manufacturers of housewares and food contact products in bringing safe, compliant goods to market.

We also help brands meet legislative requirements for the presence of Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS) in food contact materials and packaging. Using validated analytical methods, we identify and quantify chemical substances that may result from molecular degradation, cross-contamination, or other unknown sources. Each assessment is tailored to the intended use of the material or article, and where applicable, we apply the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) framework to support compliance and ensure consumer safety.
