TL;DR: The paper summarizes the main steps followed to build up and validate a migration estimation model that can be used, for a series of plastic food-contact materials and migrants, for regulatory purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review and priority setting for substances that are listed without a specific migration limit in Table 1 of Annex 1 of Regulation 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

TL;DR: The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids was requested to identify those substances requiring an SML to ensure the authorisation is sufficiently protective to health, grouping them in high, medium and low priority to serve as the basis for future re‐evaluations of individual substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical review of the migration potential of nanoparticles in food contact plastics
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of analytical techniques and the experimental design on the results of particle migration studies is discussed and a short overview on nanomaterial applications for food contact materials and on the regulatory situation in Europe and USA is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of a predictive migration model for evaluating the compliance of plastic materials with European food regulations
TL;DR: The handling of the migration estimation model is demonstrated for several practical migration scenarios using a series of case studies and shows a shift away from expensive and time consuming migration analysis in foods to much simpler and more economic compositional analysis in the material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration of antimony from PET bottles into beverages: determination of the activation energy of diffusion and migration modelling compared with literature data
Frank Welle,Roland Franz +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that antimony levels in beverages due to migration from PET bottles manufactured according to the state of the art can never reach or exceed the European-specific migration limit of 40 µg kg−1.
