Food Contact Materials

CS Regulatory Ltd are currently advising several clients on their requirements under legislation. We have detailed experience of the process to enable successful registration.

The regulations on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, EC Regulation 1935(2004), sets out some very general rules that should be met by all classes of food packaging materials.

Namely, that they do not under their normal or foreseeable conditions of use, transfer constituents to foodstuffs in quantities which could endanger human health, bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food or bring about a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics (taste, smell texture etc) thereof.

The EU framework also includes 'specific measures' for various different types of food packaging materials, for example plastics, paper, ceramics, regenerated cellulose, active and intelligent packaging etc. These 'measures' may be in the form of EU Directives or Regulations.

CS Regulatory Ltd are currently advising several clients on their requirements under this legislation. We have detailed experience of the process to enable successful registration.
