With a direct communication to stakeholders, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recently announced that it is preparing to the transition of regulatory Food Contact Materials (FCM) dossiers to the International Uniform Chemical Information database format (IUCLID).
The process will initially apply to Plastic FCM dossiers, submitted via the E-Submission Food Chain Platform, potentially in the second half of 2028.
The extension of IUCLID to plastic Food Contact Materials (FCMs) marks another step towards greater interoperability and data reuse across EFSA’s regulatory areas, building on its established use in REACH, Plant Protection Products and Drinking Water applications.
