China New Food Contact Substance Registration

Food Contact Materials and Articles

Food contact materials and products such as food packaging materials, containers, tools, machines, and utensils are the most common type of food-related products. These products are directly or indirectly exposed to food, and some of them may transfer to food, which is ultimately harmful to the body's health. Therefore, enterprises should pay particular attention to product safety in production and use. The China food safety law stipulates that new food contact substances must be declared to the relevant authorities.

New varieties of additives and resins for food contact materials, as the most important category of new varieties of food-related products, are required to submit registration declarations to the National Health Commission of China (NHC) in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations for new varieties of food-related products. The new substances can be used in China for the production of food contact materials and products (FCMs) only after they have passed the safety review.
