Chile held its first meeting on the development of a standard to regulate food contact materials on 21 September. Chile’s current regulation does not state maximum permitted migration levels, nor are these defined in the regulation’s positive list of components. The Health Ministry (MINSAL), along with the University of Santiago (USACH), and the Association of Industrial Plastics (ASIPLA) are leading the project, which is supported by Chile’s Fund for the Promotion of Scientific and Technological Development (FONDEF).
