Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) is calling for submissions on a proposal investigating chemical migration from packaging into food and whether existing regulations are managing potential risks.
FSANZ Chief Executive Officer Steve McCutcheon said FSANZ had assessed the risks of chemicals migrating from packaging to food and overall the results were reassuring.

“However, we have identified some potential issues and are now seeking comments on possible options to manage them,” Mr McCutcheon said.

“FSANZ is also undertaking further surveillance work to inform this proposal.”

FSANZ welcomes comments from all sectors of the community on the proposal.

The closing date for submissions is 5 August 2016.
