Food contact materials and articles

This procedure concerns the safety and labelling of materials and articles that come into contact with food. It aims to ensure that these materials do not transfer their constituents to food in quantities that could endanger human health or bring about an unacceptable change in the composition or organoleptic characteristics of the food.

This legislation affects businesses producing or using food contact materials, as well as consumers. It ensures clear information on product labelling, promoting transparency and consumer confidence in the safety of their food.
