Is the CHEFEAT TPU cutting board FDA tested?

Yes. Independent laboratory testing to FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (report TST20230980201-8EN, September 2023) measured total migration below 0.2 mg/in² against permitted limits of up to 175 mg/in² — a pass with a wide margin.

Is the CHEFEAT board LFGB certified?

The board passed testing against the German LFGB food-contact framework (Sections 30 and 31) and EU food-contact regulations (report TST20230980201-7EN). In the DIN 10955 sensorial test it scored 0 on a scale where up to 2.5 is permitted — no perceptible odor or taste transfer.

Is the CHEFEAT board BPA free?

Yes — verified by testing against EU Regulation 2018/213 (the BPA regulation) and related EU food-contact rules, report TST20230980201-6EN, September 2023.

What raw material is the board made of?

Food-grade UTECHLLAN TPU engineered by Covestro (Germany) — the polymer company spun off from Bayer. Covestro's REACH declaration confirms no Substances of Very High Concern above 0.1% across all 241 substances on the ECHA candidate list.

✓ Passed

FDA food-contact testing (USA)

Standard	FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (rubber articles intended for repeated food contact)
Report	TST20230980201-8EN · September 2023
Laboratory	TST — True Safety Testing Co., Ltd. (independent accredited lab)
What was measured	Total migration into food simulants (n-hexane, distilled water) at reflux temperature
Result	<0.2 mg/in² — against permitted limits of up to 175 mg/in². Passed with a margin of several hundred times.

✓ Passed

German LFGB food-contact compliance (the strictest in Europe)

Standard	LFGB Sections 30 & 31 · EC 1935/2004 · EU 10/2011 and related EU regulations
Report	TST20230980201-7EN · September 2023
What was measured	Sensorial odor & taste transfer (DIN 10955:2023) plus chemical migration panel
Result	0 points odor and 0 points taste on a scale where up to 2.5 is permitted — no perceptible odor or taste transfer at all. German LFGB is widely considered the toughest food-contact framework in Europe.

✓ Passed

EU BPA regulation — verified BPA free

Why this matters in daily use: a non-porous, migration-tested surface means nothing goes from the board into your food — no plastic taste, no odor, no BPA. Combined with the groove-resistant surface (the hygiene weak point of ordinary boards), this is what "food-safe" actually looks like when you test it.
