It is a challenge to  understanding all of the applicable legislation and regulations governing materials and articles in contact with food and/or consumer products around the world.

There have been recent developments to food contact regulations in Europe [Union Guidelines on Regulation (EU) No 10/2011for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food and how this impacts the supply chain].  

In addition, there are new guidelines pertaining to printing inkes expected to be released by the BfR in Germany in 2014.

Confused, or simply need to clarify the facts?  You are not alone.

Throughout April-June, Intertek experts will be hosting a series of complimentary “lunch and learn” sessions highlighting compliance which will be focused on food contact materials. These sessions will be held in various locations within the EU.

We are pleased to offer this informal environment where participants can discuss issues, ask questions, or share concerns with their peers. There is no formal presentation, just an open dialogue, where the exchange of experience and issues is not only encouraged but welcomed. 

If you are responsible for helping your company comply with food contact requirements these sessions are for you!

Food Contact Materials: Supply Chain Challenges 

We will be covering how to handle GMP correctly, ensuring compliance throughout the supply chain.  Attendees will have the opportunity to better understand the impact of inks; how to deal with non-intentionally added substances; and choosing the right testing conditions.
