Have you thought about what's in your glass?

Most of us don't think about it — and that's perfectly normal. When we pick up a drink, we assume it's safe. But the truth is, the safety of what we drink begins long before the first sip.

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

Food safety starts with legislation

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

Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 ensures that no material used can transfer harmful substances to what we consume.

This legislation applies to all European Union countries, including Portugal, guaranteeing a high level of consumer protection.

Not all plastics are equal

For many years, some plastics raised concerns due to substances like BPA, which could migrate into food and beverages without the consumer's knowledge.

Today, modern high-resistance polymers, when certified, completely eliminate this risk. The evolution of materials allows for combining safety, durability, and sustainability.

What about glass?

Glass is often seen as the safest option — but it also has its risks.

In environments like parties, swimming pools, or events, a broken glass can turn a pleasant moment into a dangerous situation, with invisible fragments and sharp surfaces.

A small symbol that makes all the difference

There's a simple way to ensure safety:

Look for the glass and fork symbol. This indicates that the material has been tested and approved for food contact, meeting strict safety standards.

Choosing safe cups for any occasion

Whether at home, at an event, or by the pool, choosing the right cup makes a difference.
