[China Packaging News] recently, a number of European non-governmental organizations jointly issued an appeal that the current proposal of the European Commission to prohibit the migration of bisphenol A (BPA) from coatings and varnishes of food contact materials for infants and young children (FCM) is "far from enough" in terms of consumer protection

in response to the European Commission's recommendation on the proposal, chemtrust, a British charity, said that the EU should prohibit all the use of bisphenol A in FCM, including paper and cards

infants and young children may be exposed to BPA environment due to exposure to FCM not specifically designed for them, but to a variety of chemicals. Jinan new era assay instrument Co., Ltd. will introduce you the operating skills of the wear resistance testing machine. The "mixing effect" should lead the regulatory authorities to minimize the possibility of BPA exposure

in addition to the proposed ban on BPA migration in FCM materials for infants and young children, Dow is building a new silicone resin factory in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province. The European Commission also revised the draft regulation to propose stricter restrictions on BPA migration in materials involved in other consumer groups. For varnish or paint in food materials contact materials, the BPA migration limit will be increased from 0.6mg/kg to 0.05mg/kg

but chemtrust said that the committee also needs to expand the scope of restrictions on BPA. "In fact, at present, little is known about the level of BPA in paper and cards, but this cannot be used as a reason not to limit it."

in 2016, members of the European Parliament announced their support for the report of the environmental Commission (envi), calling for the prohibition of bisphenol A in all FCMs. The report also called for the coordination and unification of all FCMs, and required that based on the factor of high market penetration, priority should also be given to restricting BPA in paper and paperboard

the consultation meeting ended on September 20, 2017 received seven response documents, among which the comments from the eurocoopbegium also reflected the views of chemtrust, whose members are mainly engaged in food retail business

this NGO from Belgium said that the ultimate goal of the European Commission should be to propose a "comprehensive bilateral agreement", which should not only phase out the use of bisphenol A, but also extend to all other bisphenol products, because such substances may cause similar effects on human hormones

all FCM, including coatings and varnishes for plastic and metal packaging, must be solved first, because they are still widely used in the EU market. After that, all materials involving baby food should be restricted compulsorily to avoid any contact between bisphenol A and food

the initiators of this joint submission initiative include a series of industry associations and a supplier of frozen food ingredients. They called on the EU to coordinate regulations on bisphenol A to ensure a high degree of consumer protection, while avoiding "disproportionate unilateral legislative initiatives of Member States"

the organization includes:

cepe, the European paint and ink trading agency

European Organization for metal packaging

the European food and beverage group composite is composed of graphene sandwiched between ceramic layers

European plastics organization

frucom, a supplier of frozen food ingredients

they believe that the "most urgent" task of the industry at present is to "solve the distortion of the single market by introducing coordinated risk management measures"

they drafted the description of FCM's "launch" in the proposal. DuPont Kevlar fiber is five times stronger than steel of the same weight. The limitation on migration should be applied from the date when the empty items are put on the market, rather than the date when the packaged food or beverage products are put on the market - because the latter may lag significantly

in addition, the definition of "varnish and paint" used in the draft regulation should emphasize that this limitation only applies to the production of varnish and paint products "using BPA", rather than "raw materials containing BPA"
