Food Contact Center is a specialized center recognized at both national and international level for chemical and microbiological testing of materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (FCMs) for global legislations.
Not just FCMs: we also perform tests on materials not intended for food contact, ensuring high analytical reliability even with complex matrices.
Our core focus is product and consumer safety, along with the performance evaluation of materials, with concrete attention to today's sustainability challenges.
"We guarantee product quality for a more sustainable future."
FCMs are Food Contact Materials intended for packaging, sorting, producing and consuming food.
Food Contact Center S.r.l. performs all the necessary analisys in order to declare the compliance of FCM with all the regulations and decrees in force in this sector; among the main ones, at National and European level, follows:
REGULATION (EC) No. 1935/2004 concerning food contact materials and objects that repealing Directives 80/590/EEC and 89/109/EEC.
