The safety of food contact materials is directly related to food safety. With the continuous development of material technologies and manufacturing processes, the types of food contact materials have become increasingly diverse, and the associated potential safety risks have also become more varied. The European Union has established a relatively comprehensive regulatory framework for food contact materials and uses the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) to notify and issue alerts on products presenting safety risks.
This issue summarizes the RASFF notifications concerning food contact materials in the first quarter of 2026. A total of 34 notifications were recorded, of which 16 involved products from China, including one involving a product from Taiwan, China.
