Ensure consumer safety and market access with expert strategies for global food contact compliance across polymers, adhesives, and packaging materials. Master the nuances of EU’s Regulation (EU) 10/2011, FDA’s food contact notifications (FCNs), China’s GB 4806 standards, and Japan’s stringent MHLW thresholds, all of which demand rigorous migration testing to meet specific migration limits (SMLs) and overall migration limits (OMLs). Address critical challenges like NIAS (Non-Intentionally Added Substances) identification using advanced analytical techniques (LC-QTOF, GC×GC-MS) and mitigate risks in multi-layer laminates, adhesives, and recycled plastics through probabilistic modeling tools (FACET, MigraSolv). Overcome PFAS quantification pitfalls, validate functional barriers under EU Article 14, and align with evolving standards for recycled PET/PE under (EU) 2022/1616. Optimize formulations to balance performance with compliance, leveraging threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) frameworks and extractables/leachables (E&L) studies. Stay ahead of endocrine disruptor bans, sustainability mandates, and regional enforcement variability while building audit-proof documentation for global markets. Transform migration data into actionable insights to future-proof your materials and secure competitive advantage in the food contact materials (FCM) industry.
This isn’t just another compliance training – it’s your shortcut to mastering global regulations for food contact materials (FCMs) and staying ahead in the industry. Here’s why you can’t afford to skip it;
1. Avoid Six-Figure Fines & Market Bans: EU and FDA penalties for non-compliance are crushing. Learn how to sidestep PFAS scandals, recycled material traps, and migration breaches—before regulators strike.
2. Your Lab’s Methods Miss Hidden Risks: Outdated GC-MS can’t catch NIAS or trace PFAS. Unlock non-targeted screening (LC-QTOF) and AI-driven modeling to outsmart competitors.
3. China’s New GB 4806 Demands Action: Stricter heavy metal limits and adhesive rules threaten Asia-Pacific access. Get the testing shortcuts nobody’s sharing.
4. Recycled Plastics Will Break Your Business: EU’s “challenge tests” and FDA’s vague guidelines are landmines. Learn functional barrier hacks to avoid recalls.
5. Suppliers Are Your Weakest Link: “Food-grade” claims often lack proof. Discover audit tricks to slash phthalate and NIAS risks overnight.
Anyone responsible for showing that the food contact plastic materials or articles produced by their company are compliant with the requirements of EU law, in particular:
- Regulatory affairs professionals and formulators
- Quality managers and quality department employees
- R&D and Technical directors
- Other technical managers and executives; and
- Anyone who wish to understand the legal requirements
