The Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) released, on April 16, 2012, a notice announcing the approval of 301 additives for food packing materials in response to the “clean-up” procedures under jointed organization of seven departments. This clearance focuses on the food packing materials having potential harm to human health, which aims to sort out more additives permitted for use in food containers and packing materials other than the 959 items of additives specified in China’s “Hygienic Standards for Uses of Additives in Food Containers and Packaging Materials” (GB 9685-2008).
