SGS Food Contact Materials Day

Regulatory requirements for food contact materials (FCMs) vary across the world. For manufacturers, distributors and retailers looking to place their products into major global markets, the array of differing regional, national and international regulations can create barriers to trade, especially when legislation is subject to revision.

In this day-long series of webinars, we will focus on the regulatory landscapes impacting FCM in multiple global markets and highlight solutions that SGS can provide to help you navigate through this increasingly complex issue.

Expert presenters will look at FCM regulations in Thailand, China, the EU and the South American MERCOSUR countries, providing updates on the latest quality and safety laws. There will also be a look at poly- and perfluorinated substances (PFAS), which a growing number of lawmakers are committed to regulating, to learn how SGS can help you maintain compliance.
