Regulation 752/2017 contains some minor tweaks to the legislation for food contact plastics and has introduced six new substances to the positive list contained in Annex I of EU Regulation 10/2011. From the substances which have been newly approved, the most notable addition is for a clay based additive which is also permitted for use in its nanoform.
