About this statute

This preamble lists the legal bases and reasons for the regulation and says the Health Minister adopts it. Recycled PET bottles are allowed only under specific conditions, including a 50% minimum of virgin PET, contact only with natural mineral water, and notification to the local health authority when recycled plastic is used. The Health Minister, after hearing the Higher Health Council, must issue and update decrees on food-contact materials; anyone who uses such materials contrary to those decrees can be punished.
