The safety of food contact materials is a fundamental requirement for ensuring food safety. With continuous advancements in material technologies, the variety of food contact materials has expanded, and the associated potential risks have become increasingly diverse. To address these challenges, the European Union has established a comprehensive regulatory framework that imposes strict controls on various types of food contact materials, along with an efficient alert and notification system designed to promptly identify and manage safety hazards. For products that fail to comply with relevant requirements, the EU may take corrective actions such as recalls, public notifications, and market restrictions to protect consumer health and maintain market order.
This report summarizes notifications related to food contact materials recorded by the EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) in the third quarter of 2025, with a total of 47 cases. Among them, 29 cases involved products originating from China, including 2 cases from Hong Kong, China.
