EFSA to update regulation on food contact materials (FCMs)

Pubdate : 2015-07-08 Source : Unknow Writer : CIRS

European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) calls on public opinion on draft amending the science for safety assessments of chemicals in food and substance use in food contact materials (FCMs). Entry for public opinion

The draft mainly expresses the following ideas:

Improved estimations of consumer exposure to these substances based on food consumption surveys and food group categories;
Improved toxicity testing strategies, related tiered approaches and data requirements;
Modern approaches such as modelling for estimating migration of the residues of these materials into food;
Considerations of non-testing methods for the safety evaluation of non-intentionally added substances (such as impurities and so-called ‘degradation products’).

The public consultation ends on 7 October 2015.

C&K Testing reminds stakeholders to follow up regulations and make prompt preparation. We will keep a close eye on the latest news of the regulation. Please feel free to consult us in case of any question.
