Scope:

Provide guidance on the manufacture, sale and use of barbecue brushes, including metal bristle brushes; and define the characteristics of the tool, and include minimum specifications for materials, construction, labelling and testing procedures.

 

Project need:

In 2017, incidents of Canadians ingesting wire bristles from barbecue brushes have been reported. Based on the reported incidents, a large proportion of the overall Canadian population will, at some point in time, ingest food that has been prepared on a barbecue grill, previously cleaned by a metal bristle barbecue brush. The development of a new standard can help address the safety concerns of barbecue brushes, including the detachment of metal bristles
