Consultancy on Food Packaging Material
Materials and objects in contact with foodstuffs
Legislation on food contact materials is comprehensive and complex. All kinds of food contact materials must comply with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006 on good manufacturing practice. Besides, material types such as plastics, glass and ceramics, wrapping made of regenerated cellulose as well as active and intelligent materials are subject to specific legislation, whereas all other food contact materials are merely subject to a number of recommendations which we can lean on. Therefore, it can be difficult to get a good grasp of the requirements that apply to your own product.
What does the Legislation Cover?
Eurofins Product Testing watches the legislation and any other actions in the field closely so we can always offer the best consultancy services to manufacturers, importers and distributors of food contact materials. The legislation applies whenever a product is intended for food contact – whether it is intended for actually wrapping the food, for lunch boxes, drinking bottles or kitchenware.
