EUR-Lex shows a consolidated text version of Regulation (EU) 2024/3190 current as of 2026-02-23. The act is a specific measure under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and sets/updates EU-wide rules on the use of bisphenol A (BPA) and certain bisphenols/bisphenol derivatives in certain food contact materials and articles, including restrictions/prohibitions, derogations for certain uses, and associated conditions intended to prevent migration into food. Compliance teams should ensure product/material compliance assessments, declarations of compliance, and supplier specifications align with the current consolidated legal text and any transitional provisions contained in the act.
The European Commission published a factsheet (communications/guidance material) explaining how the EU ensures safe food packaging and food contact materials (FCMs), summarising the role of the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and related measures (e.g., GMP and plastics rules). This is not a binding legal amendment, but it can help compliance teams align internal training and supplier communication with the Commission’s framing of key obligations under the EU FCM system.
The European Commission adopted Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/250 (2 February 2026) as a correcting act (corrigendum) to Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/3190 on the use of bisphenol A (BPA) and other bisphenols and bisphenol derivatives in certain food contact materials. The Commission’s Food Contact Materials legislation index flags the correction as particularly relevant to transitional provisions, which may affect sell-through, declarations of compliance, and compliance planning for operators placing affected FCMs on the EU market under the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
The European Commission adopted Commission Regulation (EU) 2026/245 (2 February 2026) amending Annex I (the Union list of authorised substances) of Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Updates to Annex I can change substance authorisations and/or conditions of use for plastic FCMs, directly impacting substance compliance status, supporting evidence files, and declarations of compliance under the EU FCM Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
European Commission (DG SANTE) published a handout for the Working Group of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) on Food Contact Materials (meeting 29–30 January 2026). The document provides implementation-status updates and practical clarifications relevant to compliance with the recycled plastic food contact materials regime under Regulation (EU) 2022/1616, which is a specific measure adopted under the EU Food Contact Materials Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. Topics include the Recycling Register/IT system rollout (FFSPM/FIP and planned ESFC tool structuring), Member State audits/controls under Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2022/1616, status of PET recycling authorisation decisions, and discussion of recent corrections to Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 (Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/2269). Compliance teams using recycled plastics should monitor the operational timelines and documentation/registration expectations described, as these affect market access and audit readiness.
The European Commission published an informational factsheet (February 2026) on how the EU ensures safe food packaging, describing obligations and the overall compliance/enforcement framing under Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and related FCM legislation. This is not a legislative amendment, but can be used by compliance teams for internal training, supplier communication, and explaining EU FCM safety/traceability expectations.
Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/351 amends the EU Plastics Food Contact Materials Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 (a specific measure under the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004) and also makes connected amendments across the EU FCM compliance regime (including recycled plastics and GMP-related provisions, per the research summary). Compliance teams should review impacts on plastics FCM substance control/quality expectations and related documentation/labelling and operational controls referenced in the amending act.
