Have You Ever Thought About What’s Inside Your Glass?

Most of us don’t give it a second thought—and that’s perfectly normal. When we grab a drink, we assume it’s safe. But the reality is that the safety of what we drink starts long before the first sip.

Behind every glass, cup, or container, there are materials, processes, and regulations designed to protect our health.

Food Safety Starts with Regulation

In Europe, strict rules ensure that materials in contact with food and beverages are safe.

One of the most important frameworks is Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, which guarantees that any material used cannot transfer harmful substances to what we consume.

This regulation applies across all EU countries, including Portugal, ensuring a consistent and high level of consumer protection.

Not All Plastics Are the Same

For many years, certain plastics raised concerns due to substances like BPA (Bisphenol A), which could migrate into food and drinks without consumers even realizing it.

Today, modern high-performance polymers, when properly certified, are designed to eliminate these risks. Innovation in materials has made it possible to combine durability, safety, and sustainability.

And What About Glass?

Glass is often perceived as the safest option—but it’s not without its risks.

In environments like parties, pools, or large events, glass can become a hazard. A broken glass can quickly turn a good moment into a dangerous situation, with invisible shards and sharp edges posing real risks.

A Small Symbol That Makes a Big Difference

There’s a simple way to ensure what you’re using is safe:

Look for the glass and fork symbol. This marking indicates that the material has been tested and certified for food contact, meaning it complies with strict safety standards.

Choosing Safe Drinkware for Every Moment

Whether at home, at an event, or by the pool, choosing the right drinkware matters more than we might think.
