The Importance of the MOCA Declaration in Handcrafted Ceramics Production
In the world of handcrafted ceramics, it's not just about creating beautiful, unique items, but also ensuring they are safe for everyday use. A crucial aspect of this safety is the MOCA declaration, which stands for "Materials or Objects in Contact with Food."
The MOCA declaration certifies that ceramic products intended for food contact (such as plates, mugs, or pots) are made according to standards that protect consumer health. Specifically, it ensures that no harmful substances are transferred from the ceramic object to the food, keeping your meals and drinks safe.
For artisanal ceramic producers, this means adhering to strict manufacturing and firing processes, using non-toxic materials and glazes free of lead or cadmium, which could otherwise contaminate food. This not only safeguards customer health but also reflects a commitment to transparency and quality.
For consumers, choosing handcrafted ceramics with a MOCA declaration means enjoying the beauty of a unique product while knowing it meets high safety standards. In our e-shop, we ensure that every piece complies with these criteria, blending craftsmanship and safety to offer you the best.
