Abstract:Objective To establish the exposure parameters of food contact materials for liquor in China. Methods Using liquor consumption surveillance data in 9 provinces and cities in China in 2013, food consumption factor (CF) and food-type distribution factor(fT) was derived through calculation of consumption of liquors based on food contact materials type and food type. Results Food contact materials of liquors consumed by Chinese population mainly include glass, metal (coated), metal (without coating), plastic and ceramics, and the consumption factors are 0.29,0.28,0.06,0.22 and 0.15, respectively. The contact materials for liquors consumed by Chinese population are mainly glass and metal (coated), accounting for 57% of the consumption of liquors.Among consumers who drink glass-packaged liquors, 80% are low alcohol and 20% were high alcohol. Conclusion The food contact material exposure assessment parameters based on actual food consumption could be the technical support for Chinese food contact material risk assessment.
