MORE ABOUT EVENT
About Global Food Contact
This event aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the critical regulatory and compliance shifts currently reshaping the food contact materials landscape in the US and the Americas.
It will offer crucial insights into the evolving state-level legislative environment, including an in-depth look at the patchwork of PFAS bans and the broader "MAHA" movement impacting chemical releases. The programme will address the complexities of the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) framework, and provide timely updates on international trade dynamics, specifically focusing on the Mercosur region.
Discussions will navigate the practical challenges of interstate commerce amidst varying PFAS restrictions, update the latest regulatory developments from Canada, and explore the management of emerging chemical risks.
