Consumers are now more discerning and health-conscious when it comes to food, with many opting for organic and chemical-free products. However, most people overlook the fact that the tableware they use might be harmful and contain toxic metals.

Recent studies have found that over 40% of ceramic tableware releases toxic metals such as lead and cadmium. These heavy metals may leak into our food, leading to health risks in the long-term, with one example being lead poisoning. 

Opting for Safe Tableware 

While you want to enjoy your meal with peace of mind, it's important to choose tableware that meets the highest safety standards.

At Luzerne, we prioritise quality and safety, offering products which are completely lead and cadmium-free. Our dual firing process at high temperatures (800-1,280°C), ensures elimination of any trace of harmful substances. 

Our factory has attained several certifications, ensuring the utmost levels of quality, safety, and reliability. Additionally, our decals and coloured glazes meet the strictest compliance standards. Whether for hotels, restaurants, or homes, Luzerne’s food-safe ceramic allows you to focus on what matters most—enjoying your meals with confidence.

How to Identify Harmful Tableware

Avoid bright-coloured or rough-decorated products which may contain toxic metals. Always check for the certification standards when purchasing tableware, even those for gifts.

For glazed wares, inspect the surface for any cracks, chips, or uneven areas as these imperfections could allow harmful metals like lead and cadmium to leach into your food.

At Luzerne, we conduct regular testing to ensure the safety of our tableware. We are equally committed to integrating environmental sustainability into everything we do. Our sustainability efforts are guided by the 5Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Renew, and Respect, as we strive to positively impact our environment.
