It was learned from relevant parties that on April 28th, the revised hygiene standard for additives for food containers and packaging materials (GB9685-2008) had been notified to the WTO organization and entered the stage for soliciting opinions from WTO members, and it is expected to be formally introduced in July. The new standard allows the use of additives for food packaging materials from the original 65 to more than 1,000 kinds, including plastic packaging material additives from the original 38 to 580.
The new standard has made extensive amendments to the 2003 version. The technical standards and testing standards for new additives mainly refer to the relevant standards of the European Union and the United States. In addition, the new standard also adds to the principle of use of additives, and requires additives for food packaging materials to meet packaging materials in contact with food, under the recommended conditions of use, the additives that migrated to food must not endanger human health and must not make the food Changes, etc., and the use of additives should be minimized to achieve the desired effect.
Entrusted by the Ministry of Health, the Center for Nutrition and Food Safety of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention participated in the revision of the standard. The Institute's Dr. Fan Yongxiang stated that at present, China is now clearing and revising relevant standards in the field of food packaging, and some relatively backward standards have seriously hampered the development of the industry. For example, in the current hygienic standard for the use of additives for food containers and packaging materials (GB9685-2003), the types of additives permitted for use do not meet the needs of the modern food packaging industry.
Fan Yongxiang stated that due to the large number of newly added additives in this revision, the technical standards and testing standards for some varieties have drawn on foreign standards, and thus the corresponding experimental database is not perfect. He hoped that relevant domestic production enterprises could provide corresponding technical data; to perfect the experimental database and promote the formulation of relevant domestic standards as soon as possible. For new varieties of food packaging materials and additives that have not been included in the new standard, production enterprises can report to the Ministry of Health and can use it only after approval. Since the introduction of new additive varieties is faster than the standard revision rate, the Ministry of Health will add technical standards and testing standards for additives in the form of announcements, and gradually improve the relevant standards system.
According to the provisions of the relevant WTO agreements, each member state must notify the WTO Secretariat 60 days before the approval of the regulations when formulating or revising existing standards. At present, there is no list of authoritative agencies for testing or evaluating additives in the country.
