India proposes to ban the use of perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and bisphenol A (BPA) in the manufacturing process of food contact materials.

On October 13, 2025, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) released a draft notice proposing significant revisions to the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations 2018, aimed at prohibiting the use of perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and bisphenol A (BPA) in the manufacturing process of food contact materials, thereby further strengthening India's food packaging safety framework.

Draft restrictions

Ban on Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) shall not be used in the production of food contact materials. PFAS is commonly referred to as a "permanent chemical substance" used in coatings to give the material waterproof and oil resistant properties, but highly durable in the environment and human body.

Ban on Bisphenol A (BPA) and its derivatives

Food contact materials made from polycarbonate and epoxy resin must be free of bisphenol A (BPA) and its derivatives. BPA is an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of certain plastics and resins, and people are concerned that it may seep into food and beverages.
