◉ EU Food Contact Materials
The purpose of establishing a unified regulatory system for food contact materials in the EU is to protect the health of consumers and eliminate unnecessary trade barriers.
The management of food contact materials in the EU includes three types of framework regulations, special regulations and separate regulations. The framework regulations stipulate the general principles for the management of food contact materials, the special regulations stipulate the special requirements for each type of substances listed in the framework regulations, and the individual regulations are specific regulations for a single substance.
The EU's safety management and legislation on food contact materials started with the 76/893/EEC Directive in 1976. Since its development, it has formed a regulatory system with different levels and covering a variety of materials. The following figure more completely reflects the entire regulatory framework of EU food contact materials.
