EU alert · RASFF Potential risk New Food contact materials
Insufficient documentation for plastic food contact materials from Türkiye
Validated by the European Commission: · Ref. 2026.8437
Summary
The EU has issued a safety alert about plastic food containers from Türkiye because they don't have all the necessary documentation to ensure their safe use with food. The products haven't been sold in the EU yet, but if they were, there might be some risk. The relevant authorities are checking on these consignments at the border.
A RASFF notification means that a risk was identified and shared between national authorities. It does not necessarily mean the product was sold in every country — check the distribution list and the measures taken.
