Eurofins Product Testing - Food Packaging Directives

EUThe European regulation (EC) 1935/2004 defines fundamental requirements of food packaging for EU market.

According to this, packaging material shall neither transfer their ingredients into food in quantities that may impair human health, nor deteriorate aroma or taste.

Besides these very general rules some materials are regulated more in detail. Plastics and polymers are regulated inthe Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011, superseding EU Directive 2002/72/EC. The regulation contains restrictions, migration limit values, and specifications for testing - for safety of food when in contact with plastic materials. While the earlier EU Directive 2002/72 had to be adopted by each Member State in EU with the option of national modifications, this new regulation will become law in all EU Member States directly.
