Hello, I know that FDA Food Packaging Material Registration registration is a requirement by the FDA for any food-contact packaging if their chemical components are deemed to be indirect food additives or food contact substances, but does anyone have any more information about what is actually required to register a packaging material with the FDA. Do they need to provide migration studies etc...
I need to approve a new Chinese supplier and need to know what to tell them is required. I have requested a spec, cert of analysis and a letter of guarantee that they adhere to both Division 23 of the Food Packaging Materials of the Canadian Food & Drug Regulations and/or Section 303©(2) of the U.S.Food & Drug Administration’s certifying that a particular product is acceptable for the intended food-contact use.
This is new to me so i need to know exactly what is needed to be able to use them in the US market.
any help would be useful thanks
