In March 2017, the EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) sent 11 validated notifications about disqualified FCM (food contact materials) products which originated from China through the system. The notifying states include Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Finland. Tableware and kitchenware are still the main kinds of notified products.
