According to EU Regulation No 10\/2011, a specific migration limit (SML) of 0.6 mg\/kg of foodstuff is set for Bisphenol A. The specific migration limit is the maximum permitted quantity of a given substance released from a material or article into food or food simulants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is also important to note that, under EU Regulation No 321\/2011 amending EU Regulation No 10\/2011, Bisphenol A is banned in baby bottles. In France, Law No 2012-1442 of 24 December 2012 provides for the suspension of the manufacture, import, export and placing on the market of any food packaging containing bisphenol A. This law is due to take effect in January 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">            Melamine (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine, CAS No 108-78-1) is a chemical compound generally used in the manufacture of plastic materials, can coatings, paper and cardboard, as well as tableware and kitchen utensils.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the 1990s, although banned as a food additive, melamine was commonly used in several countries (notably China) to artificially boost the apparent protein content of infant formula and animal feed. Melamine contains high levels of nitrogen, and its illegal addition to food simulates increased protein content.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to EU Regulation No 594\/2012 amending EU Regulation No 1881\/2006, the maximum melamine level is 1 mg\/kg for infant formula powder and 2.5 mg\/kg for other foods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For any technical, pricing and\/or regulatory information, please contact us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHYTOCONTROL is pleased to announce that, in addition to the analyses already carried out at&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-545389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-regulatory-watch","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.5) -
