BPA changes and hospitality tableware: what you need to know
You may have seen occasional discussion around changing BPA regulations in food contact materials. For most HORECA customers, the key message is simple: there is no need for concern, and there is no need to make any changes now.
If your current Harfield products are in use and performing well, you can continue using them with confidence. There is no need to replace existing tableware simply because regulations are changing.
There is no need to do anything now
For most restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars and cafés, there is no action required.
This is not something that should disrupt day-to-day service or create unnecessary concern. Existing tableware already in use can continue to be used, and there is no need to replace products purely because regulations are changing.
If you need replacement tableware
If you are buying replacement tableware, polycarbonate remains the best option while stocks are available.
For customers who would prefer a BPA-free option, copolyester is the best choice. It offers a high-quality, durable and professional alternative that suits the demands of hospitality environments.
