EU suspends AC foaming agent for plastic food packaging
Recently, the European Union decided to suspend the use of AC foaming agents for the production of plastic food packaging products. This is mainly due to a new study in the European Union that when AC foaming agents are exposed to heat during manufacture, semicarbazide, a substance that can cause cancer, is produced. This substance enters foods and has the highest levels in baby foods. However, the EU also stated that new materials that replace AC blowing agents will soon be available for the production of food packaging products. In order to further verify the safety of this new material in food packaging, the EU has set a transition period of 18 months and suspended the use of AC foaming agents in the production of plastic food packaging materials. From August 2, 2005, plastic materials and products that prohibit the use of AC foaming agents as food packaging or food contact have been sold and imported. However, the materials that have been filled before August 2nd, 2005 and are marked with the date of filling can continue to be sold, and other commodities marked with the date of filling can continue to be sold.
