Statute overview

About this statute

The Minister of Health adopts a regulation that amends earlier rules on food-contact materials. In non-retail commercialization, certain plastic food-contact materials with specified additives must be accompanied by a written declaration. Anyone wanting a substance listed in Annex II, Section 1, Part B to be added to the EU list must submit a request by 31 December 2006. This provision replaces Article 3 of Presidential Decree No. 777 of 23 August 1982 with new text that follows. The health minister may set and update the rules for food-contact materials, and using such materials contrary to those rules can be punished. Materials and objects in contact with food must not release constituents above the stated migration limits.
