Navigating Japan’s FCM Positive List and Compliance Strategies

Background

Compliance is essential for companies exporting Food Contact Materials (FCMs) to Japan for market access, supply chain stability, and brand reputation. With the full implementation of Japan’s amended Food Sanitation Act, the mandatory Positive List system is a critical hurdle for all businesses.

Japan’s unique and complex regulatory framework poses a challenge. A common issue arises when a synthetic resin component (monomer or additive) is not on the list, leaving companies unsure how to proceed. How can businesses develop an efficient and reliable compliance strategy to navigate these regulatory barriers and complex application processes?

This webinar will provide a practical, systematic overview of Japan’s FCM regulations, a detailed look at the Positive List for synthetic resins, and the application requirements for revising the list (to amend existing items or add new substances). This webinar will offer you clear compliance strategies and solutions to help you mitigate risks and seize opportunities in the Japanese market.
