The German Consumer Goods Ordinance (BedGgstV) specifies the requirements for consumer goods and, in particular, food contact materials and articles, and the maximum amount of substances of concern that may be released from them into the human body or into food. A food contact material or article is defined as a material that comes into contact with food or is intended to come into contact with food or is expected to come into contact with food or to release constituents into food under normal, foreseeable conditions of use, i.e. in particular food packaging. The regulation serves to implement, among others, the EC Directive 2002/72/EC on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs and the updates or amendments 2007/19/EC, 2011/8/EU.
