Background: Food contact articles (FCAs) are manufactured from food contact materials
(FCMs) that include plastics, paper, metal, glass, and printing inks. Chemicals can migrate
from FCAs into food during storage, processing, and transportation. Food contact materials'
safety is evaluated using chemical risk assessment (RA). Several challenges to the RA of
FCAs exist. Objectives: We review regulatory requirements for RA of FCMs in the United
States and Europe, identify gaps in RA, and highlight opportunities for improving the …
