How will we assess hazards from #plasticisers in #FoodPackaging?
Check out our scientific protocol on how we will do this.

Phthalates and other plasticisers: Plan to guide EFSA assessment
EFSA today published its scientific protocol for the hazard assessment of plasticiser substances used in food contact materials (FCMs), setting out the principles for how the work will be carried out.
We identified and prioritised #plasticisers for re-evaluation and defined a protocol for assessing exposure.
Full risk assessments will follow.

Phthalates and other plasticisers: priorities for reassessment
Feedback from two public consultations has helped EFSAβs scientists prioritise reassessments of plasticiser substances used in food contact materials (FCMs) and define a protocol for assessing consumer exposure. Full risk assessments will follow in a second step.
