Food Contact Materials

In the EU, the intermediates used in the manufacturing of food contact materials, the food contact materials on their own as well as the final food contact articles are required to be manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), in accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006.

Meeting such requirements differs from manufacturing site to manufacturing site, and is dependent upon the particular type of food contact material that is manufactured.   

On-site audit is the best approach to be considered for these types of products. Considering our global presence, knoell experts can easily perform an on-site audit at your location and guide you through the process of achieving a GMP status for your manufacturing site.

It should be noted that such GMP requirements are not only applicable to the EU market, but in fact these are essential requirements for all food contact materials in the emerging markets.
