The significant developments in EU food contact law over the past three years demand new, updated analysis to understand fully the real-world consequences of legislation. Working again with the Packaging Group at Keller and Heckman LLP, Pira International is publishing a second edition of Food Contact Legislation for EU Markets to address these needs. This new edition extends the highly acclaimed first edition, providing an expanded, even more comprehensive guide to European directives, regulations and national laws governing food contact materials. It includes new coverage of the EU's Good Manufacturing Practices Regulation, the Recycling Regulation, and the Mutual Recognition Regulation. It covers the Framework Regulation and the closing of the Additives List, as well as future measures and proposed regulations.
