What is near-food?
Near-food refers to non-edible products made to look like food or associated with food. Near-food products are made to look like food but cannot be eaten due to their chemical composition. These could include toys that look like food, novelty food items, or items associated with food.
- Toys that look like food are a type of near-food that can be dangerous for children if they are ingested. These toys are often made of small parts that can easily be swallowed, and they may contain chemicals that can be toxic if they come into contact with food.
- Novelty food items are another type of near-food item. These are items that are made to look like food but are not actually edible. For example, novelty food items may include fake candy bars, plastic cupcakes, or rubber donuts.
- Items associated with food can also be considered near-food items. These are items that are not edible but are often used in conjunction with food. For example, this may include food packaging materials, napkins, or plastic utensils.
