The safety of food contact materials is very important for food safety. With the continuous progress of science and technology, there are more and more kinds of food contact materials, and new safety problems also appear. The European Union (EU) has implemented strict laws and regulations on all kinds of food contact materials, and established an effective early warning and notification system. For illegal products, the EU will impose corresponding penalties.
