Even though there is a transitional period, from 23.3.2021 it is not possible to market products that do not meet this stricter standard. According to the old rules, it is possible to tolerate products on the market only until stocks run out. This Regulation significantly changes the scope of the evaluation of the migration of elements and primary aromatic amines and the method of evaluation of products for repeated use. The category of products intended for contact with food includes all materials and objects that intentionally come into contact with food, food ingredients and dishes during the entire production process, including their measurement, packaging, storage, transportation and serving, as well as materials intended for the production of these products (e.g. plastic granules).
