SGS offers expert webinar on EU BPA ban for food contact materials

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to offer a free expert-led webinar on plans by the European Union (EU) to ban bisphenol A (BPA) and other bisphenols in food contact materials.

The European Commission originally announced plans to ban BPA and other bisphenols in food contact materials in May 2023. On June 12, 2024, following a period of engagement with stakeholders, a draft final regulation was published. Adoption of this regulation is scheduled for November 2024, with enforcement by the end of the year.

During this complimentary webinar, SGS specialist Dr Torben Küchler will consider the history of bisphenols use, current discussions around toxicological assessment, the EU’s plan to ban bisphenols and its potential impact on food safety and the food contact materials industry.

The webinar will be of interest to quality managers in both food and food packaging manufacturers. It will be held on October 17, 2024, at 10.00 am EST.
