Food Contact with Chromium Plated Parts: Important Check

Summary for food contact with chromium plated parts Discussion

Food contact with chromium plated parts is the central concern in this thread: a household appliance manufacturer asks whether a decorative plastic part with chromium plating, placed near a kettle lid, could pose safety or health issues if it accidentally touches hot or cold drinking water. The excerpt does not include a full answer or regulatory discussion, so no specific compliance guidance is given in the source shown. The only named contributor visible is Ted Mooney, P.E., whose signature appears beneath the question, but no advice from him is included in the excerpt. As a result, the thread as provided mainly establishes the design scenario and the need to check applicable food-contact and appliance safety regulations before using chromium-plated decorative parts near drinking water.
