Material migration from food contact materials

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued an alert notification because the FSAI was notified of non-conforming food contact materials (Black Nylon Kitchen Utensils) on the market. The products allowed excess migration of Total Primary Aromatic Amines in contravention of Commission Directive 2002/72/EC and European Communities (Plastics and Other Materials) (Contact with Food) Regulations 2007; S.I. No. 587 of 2007. Some of these substances are considered to be potentially harmful to human health. Follow the link for more details
