Yorulmaz Ambalaj · Food contact and usage guide
Hygienic packaging.
Right product, right use.
Looking clean alone is not enough. Purpose of food contact, usage temperature, contact time, lid compatibility and storage conditions should be evaluated together. Make your selection based on product information.
Basis of selection
Answer these three questions first.
Match the product characteristics with your preparation and serving conditions. Ask for clarification from the supplier rather than assuming a vague point.
For what purpose was it produced?
The food contact purpose and relevant use information must be clear on the product, in its description, or in the documentation provided by the manufacturer.
How will it be used?
Hot or cold content, contact time and heating method are important. Not every plastic container is suitable for microwave or hot filling.
Do the lid and container fit together?

Service scenarios
Choose packaging according to the usage scenario.
The following checks do not replace the technical information of the product; It shows you what questions you should ask.
| Scenario | Priority control | Practical approach |
|---|---|---|
| Hot meal | Temperature/contact conditions of the product | Review the manufacturer's information and cap instructions together. |
| Cold drink | Cup type, lid diameter and intended use | Do not assume further suitability for hot use. |
| Food with liquid or sauce | Cap matching, filling and conveying | Consider closure and migration in your own service conditions. |
| Microwave heating | Open microwave suitability and instructions for use | Check the lid, time and temperature information on the relevant product. |
| Takeaway | Stacking, fixing and external transport packaging | Complete the function of the container with carrying case and layout. |

Food contact ≠ use under all conditions

Clean appearance ≠ sterile product
Sterile medical use requires specific products and validated processes. Do not use general food containers as a substitute for medical sterile packaging.
Material name ≠ environmental guarantee
