Food Contact Regulations are rules designed to ensure that materials and products that come into contact with food do not contaminate it with harmful substances. These regulations cover a range of materials, including packaging, utensils, and containers. They establish safety standards, testing requirements, and guidelines for the use of chemicals, ensuring that any materials are safe for food contact. The goal is to protect public health and ensure that food remains safe for consumption throughout its preparation, storage, and serving processes. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for manufacturers and food businesses.
