  2. Overview • Whatistheofi? • Currentproject – Xenohormones • New regulations – EU, US, Australia, Asia • Implementation of a WPO workinggroup?

  3. Key Features - ofi • Private Testing & Research Institute (since 1946) • Legal form: Association / Ltd. • ~ 140 Employees (status: 01/2010) • ~ 7.000 m2 floor space • Business Year 2009:Annual turnover: 13,8 Mio. EuroR&D: ~ 24%Share of export: ~ 25%

  5. Project atofi – Xenohormones in FCM • Xenohormones - not in nature occurring hormonally active substances such as phthalates, bisphenol A and phenolic antioxidants • Xeno-Project: The aimistoperformcomprehensive material comparisonsoffoodcontactmaterials (FCM) todetectestrogen-activesubstanceswithhighly sensitive traceanalysis

  6. Legislationof Food PackagingandSafety

  7. Isfood packaging relevant? WPO says: “Yes!” (Market Statistics and Future Trends in Global Packaging 2008; www.worldpackaging.org)

  8. Europe

  10. Europe • (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food • (EU) No 321/2011 – Commission Implementing Regulation of 1 April 2011 amending Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 as regards the restriction of use of Bisphenol A in plastic infant feeding Bottles http://ec.europa.eu/food/food/chemicalsafety/foodcontact/documents_en.htm

  11. USA

  12. FDA – US Food and Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) forFCS (foodcontactsubstances) • Chemical Asessment Migration: single-use-applications vs. repeat-use-applicationsand Packaging info: consumptionfactors (CF) andfood-type distributionfactors (fT) • ToxicologicalAssesment • Environmental Asessment 21 CFR 25.40 orexclusionof environmental assessment (EA) DC = CF(M) = CF Ʃ (MFSL)(fT) DC: dietaryconcentration M: MeanvaluerelatedtofT –value MFSL: Migrationlimit EDI = DC x 3 kg food per person per day EDI: estimateddailyintake; (1.5 kg liquid und 1.5 kg solid food)

  13. USA 04.January 2011-FDA Food SafetyModernizationAct It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it. Title I – Improving Capacity to prevent Food Safety Problems Title II - Improving Capacity to Detect and Respond to Food Safety Problems Title III - Improving the safety of imported food Title IV – Miscellaneousprovisions 30. March 2012 the FDA denied a request to prohibit the use of BPA in human food and packaging http://www.fda.gov

  14. Australia/ New Zealand

  15. Australia / New Zealand www.foodstandards.gov.au

  16. Australia / New Zealand – Handling with BPA • Different studies have raised potential concerns that BPA exposure may cause multiple health problems. However the overwhelming weight of scientific opinion is that there is no health or safety issue at the levels people are exposed to. • The Australian Government has introduced a voluntary phase out of BPA use in polycarbonate baby bottles. www.foodstandards.gov.au

  17. Asia

  18. China • Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China (February 28, 2009) • Chapter 1. General Provisions • Chapter 2. Surveillance and Assessment of Food Safety Risks • Chapter 3. Food Safety Standards • Chapter 4. Food Production and Trade • Chapter 5. Inspection and Testing of Food • Chapter 6. Food Import and Export • Chapter 7. Response to Food Safety Incidents • Chapter 8. Supervision and Administration • Chapter 9. Legal Liabilities • Chapter 10. SupplementaryProvisions www.cdfa.ca.gov

  19. Asiahandlingwith BPA • China bans bisphenol A in baby bottles • “Very small” risk from bisphenol A, says Japanese research body www.foodproductiondaily.com

  20. BRC Packaging The BRC/IOP Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials – Issue 4 • published in February 2011; audits will commence against Issue 4 from Aug. 2011 • Certification to the Standard verifies: • technical and functional performance • aids manufacturers’ fulfillment of legal obligations • helps provide protection to the consumer

  21. CEPI GMP GMP for the Manufacture of Paper and Board for Food Contact (09/2010)

  22. WPO

  23. WPO – implementationof a workinggroup? • Based on new highly sensitive analysis methods and research findings, the legislatur has a certain dynamic. • The example Bisphenol A shows the fast-changing and often contradictory legislation of various countries • Building a WPO working group for rapide communication and reaction on legislation changings

  24. Possibletasks / targets • Network / Contact persons • Overviewofexistingregulatory • Foresightofregulatorytrends • Discussion / Exchange ofviews • Contact to IAPRI • Information on currentclaims
