EU to implement plastics regulations in contact with food next year

According to the AQSIQ Standards and Regulations Center, the European Union has recently decided to extend the transition period applicable to certain types of plastics that come into contact with food, including certain types of plasticizers in the lid gaskets. The specific migration limit is the limit on the amount of material that migrates into food when it comes into contact with food. European Union regulations relating to plastics and plastic products in contact with food (Revised Directive 2002/72/EC) will prohibit certain types of materials from being in contact with food and authorize the use of multiple types of other materials. The approved material must meet the specific conditions of use and the specific migration limit (mg/kg).

It is understood that Regulation No. 372/2007 sets out temporary specific migration limits to ensure prompt evacuation of the lid and food that pose a significant risk to consumers. Temporary specific migration limits apply to plastics in lid gaskets that come into contact with fats and oils. Based on the average food intake and the guidelines provided by the European Food Safety Agency in March 2006, the guideline states that 90% of the grease is contained in glass bottles. Foods have a plasticizer content of less than 300 mg per kilogram of food.

In accordance with Directive 2002/72/EC, Member States must adopt measures on or before May 1, 2008 to allow the free circulation of lid gaskets that meet the temporary specific migration limits set out in Regulation 372/2007. Member States must also ban the production and import of non-compliance cap gaskets from the date of June 30, 2008, which is the expiry date of the temporary specific migration limit in Regulation No. 372/2007. However, food manufacturers and manufacturers of lids informed the European Commission in December 2007 that by July 2008, the market would not have enough lids to comply with Directive 2002/72/EC for food manufacturers to package important foods such as oil , pesto and oil sauce foods.

In response, industry insiders said that food packaging manufacturers need more time to select solutions and tests for their products because they have not found suitable solutions for all sizes of covers. In addition, fat foods wrapped in plastic lids are seasonal products, and food manufacturers may need some time to pick the lids that are suitable for their products and perform the tests.

Therefore, people in the industry believe that it is necessary to extend the transitional period of temporary specific migration limits to ensure that manufacturers comply with regulations. The European Commission has proposed new Regulation No. 597/2008 to revise Regulation No. 372/2007 and decided to extend the transitional period for the temporary specific migration limit to April 30, 2009. Prior to April 30, 2009, exporters exporting products to the European Union will be able to continue manufacturing plasticizers (eg epoxidized soybean oil) according to the looser migration limits set out in Annex to Regulation No. 372/2007. The lid gaskets allow more time to be prepared to ensure that their sealed products comply with the more stringent migration limit regulations of new Regulation No. 597/2008 from May 1, 2009. In other words, the ban on the violation of the lid and plastic ring will be changed to take effect on April 30, 2009 instead of the previously announced June 30, 2008.
