Nieuwe aanpak EU-wetgeving bedrukt voedselcontactmateriaal

The European Commission is proposing a new risk assessment model as it looks to answer the emerging need for safety testing of printed food contact inks. This step by the commission was prompted by the announcement in 2016 that Germany was intending to regulate printed food contact materials at the federal level.
The commission envisages that its traditional regulatory approach will be problematic for printed food contact materials. It has released a discussion document dated 5 May 2017, which proposes an entirely different regulatory model. This would rely on designated bodies — commercial laboratories or consultancies accredited by member states of the EU (Smithers Pira, 13 september 2017).
