On December 19, 2024, the European Commission adopted Regulation (EU) 2024/3190, prohibiting the use of bisphenol A (BPA) and some of its derivatives in materials and objects intended for food contact. This amends Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 and repeals Regulation (EU) 2018/213.
The main objective is to protect public health by reducing exposure to harmful chemicals. Limited exceptions are provided for essential industrial applications with minimal BPA migration.
