SGS Summarizes European Commission's 2025 Report on Food Contact Material Notifications

BAAR, Switzerland - Aug. 6, 2026 - PRLog -- SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 104.26, summarizing key findings from the European Commission's 2025 Annual Report: Alert & Cooperation Network (ACN), which provides an overview and analysis of information exchanged between EU Member States on official controls relating to food contact material (FCM) and articles.

The report highlights 250 FCM notifications in 2025, with FCMs accounting for 2.8% of all ACN notifications. The majority of FCM notifications were associated with potential health risks, while a smaller proportion related to possible fraud concerns. It also identifies key areas of concern, including migration-related hazards, traceability defects, labeling deficiencies, material deterioration, unauthorized use of materials or ingredients, and the presence or migration of metals and other chemical substances.

Stakeholders across the FCMs supply chain, including manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers operating in the EU market, may be interested in the trends and compliance issues outlined in the report.

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory developments and market surveillance activities that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 104.26 contains further information on the report's findings, including the most frequently reported product categories, chemicals associated with migration notifications and other compliance concerns identified through official controls.

Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 104.26 for more details.
