Provisional list of additives us

Provisional list of additives used in Plastics 

This provisional list of additives for use in plastic food contact materials and articles contains those additives for which a valid petition has been received by 31 December 2006. These additives are not authorised at Community level. The substances on the list have not necessarily been evaluated by EFSA. For the status of the safety evaluation please check the EFSA website www.efsa.europa.eu . These additives are regulated at national level. Please consult the national authorities in the Member States to verify their legal status. As from 1 January 2010 the list of additives in Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs will become a positive list to the exclusion of all others. Substances on the provisional list may continue to be used according to national legislation after this date until a decision on their inclusion or non-inclusion into the positive list is taken.
