Food safety & compliance

Safety Comes First

For disposable food-contact products, safety and compliance are essential. YADA follows strict quality control procedures to ensure products meet international food-contact requirements.

Compliance Focus
FDA food contact requirements
LFGB testing requirements
Heavy metal testing
PFAS-free testing (where applicable)

Products are produced with food-contact safe processes and controlled materials. No harmful substances are intentionally added during production.

Product lifecycle

Designed for a Lower-Impact Lifecycle

Unlike conventional plastic disposables, bamboo and wooden products come from renewable resources and can naturally return to the environment after use under suitable conditions.
