Food-contact test reports and social audit
BG Drinkware, a drinkware manufacturer in Yongkang, China, publishes two food-contact test reports for the 304 stainless steel inner wall of two sample products and a summary of its amfori BSCI social audit. Both test reports were issued by Ningbo GIG Testing Co., Ltd. on 18 June 2025, one for a 40 oz handled tumbler and one for a 50 oz mug. Each sample passed odour and taste testing, metal release testing for 24 elements and an overall migration test against EU, German and Italian food-contact rules, and no tested metal, including lead, cadmium and nickel, was detected above the lab's reporting limit. The amfori BSCI audit of our Haohu Road site took place on 26–27 March 2026, with an overall rating of C, and is valid until 4 April 2027. Each full test report can be downloaded below. The full audit report is available to buyers on request, in line with amfori's terms.
Food-contact test reports for 304 stainless steel
Both reports test the steel surface that touches the drink: the 304 stainless steel inner wall. The samples were filled with food simulants under heat, then checked by tasters and by laboratory analysis.

What these reports do and do not cover
A test report applies to the sample that was tested. These two reports cover the 304 stainless steel inner wall of the submitted tumbler and mug, tested against EU, German and Italian food-contact rules.
They do not cover lids, straws, seals, silicone parts or coatings, and they are not US FDA reports. If your market or your model needs a different test, tell us the model, the parts and the destination. BG Drinkware can share existing reports or run new tests for an order.

Each GIG report shows the report number and issue date on every page, with the applicant on page 1, sample photos at the end and the lab's contact details in the footer, so you can confirm it with the lab directly. When you request a quote, name the documents your buyer or market asks for. We will tell you which existing report applies to your model and which tests would need to be new.

Test report FAQ
Do these reports cover my custom tumbler?
They cover the 304 stainless steel inner wall of the two tested samples. A custom tumbler that uses the same inner-wall steel can be compared with them, but lids, straws, seals and coatings are separate parts. Tell us the model and the parts, and we will say what an existing report covers and what needs new testing.
Are these FDA reports?
No. Both reports test against EU, German and Italian food-contact rules, including Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, German LFGB and the Italian decree for metals. If your buyer needs a US FDA test, tell us the model and the parts, and BG Drinkware can arrange testing for your order.
Why is the applicant name different from BG Drinkware?
BG Drinkware is our customer-facing brand. The test reports and the audit are issued to companies in our group, Qiqige Industry & Trade and Yongkang Yuanyue Industry & Trade, which run our production sites in Gushan Town, Yongkang. The address on the test reports is our factory address.
Can I see the full BSCI audit report?
Yes, on request. The summary above shows the audit dates, rating and validity. The full report belongs to amfori, so we do not publish it here and share it with buyers in line with amfori's terms. Members of amfori can also look up the result on the amfori Sustainability Platform using our amfori ID.
