Challenge testing and other food contact analysis for EFSA authorization of recycled plastics for food contact application
- Requirements of the 2022/1616/EC regulation
- Description of the different analytical tests that need to be done on recycled plastics to ensure safe use for food contact application. The testing strategy notably includes the Challenge test, also named surrogate contaminant test, to address incidental contamination in the incoming feedstock by evaluating the efficacy of the proposed process to remove incidental contaminants and produce recycled plastic that is suitably pure for food-contact applications. Other testing, such as overall migration and specific migration, needs to be performed to ensure the safety of the materials.
