Amendment to EU regulations on food contact with plastics has come into effect
On July 11, 2023, the Official Journal of the European Union released the 16th Amendment to Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 on food contact with plastics and items.
Regulation EU 2023/1442 revised the list of authorized substances in Annex I of EU 10/2011. The specific migration limit (SML) of five phthalate esters has been modified: benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP, CAS 85-68-7), dibutyl phthalate (DBP, CAS 84-74-2), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP, CAS 117-81-7), diisobecyl phthalate (DIDP, CAS 68515-49-1), and diisobonyl phthalate (DINP, CAS 28553-12-1). The reduction in SML is as follows:
DEHP decreased from 1.5mg/kg to 0.6mg/kg;
DBP decreased from 0.3mg/kg to 0.12mg/kg;
BBP decreased from 30mg/kg to 6mg/kg;
The total amount of DINP and DIDP decreased from 9mg/kg to 1.8mg/kg.
This new regulation further cancels the authorized use of salicylic acid (FCM No. 121) and untreated wood flour and fiber (FCM No. 96). In addition, it added five new authorized substances to the EU list.
The new regulations have come into effect on August 1, 2023. Plastics and items that comply with the provisions of Regulation No. 10/2011 applicable before August 1, 2023, and are first placed on the market before February 1, 2025, may continue to be placed on the market until inventory is depleted.
