MOSH and MOAH in Packaging Analytical Services in Germany
Business description
A possible input of mineral oils into food is diverse and extends over all stages of production (raw materials, storage and transport) of packaging materials. The main sources of MOSH/MOAH contamination are adhesives, recycled papers and printing inks, and the packaging made from them.
In the European Union, attempts are currently being made to regulate the use of MOSH/MOAH in two directions. France has implemented law LOI n° 2020-105 on "Circular Economy and the Fight Against Waste" by banning the use of mineral oil-based printing inks for printing on packaging. The intention is a reduction the possible input of MOSH/MOAH compounds into the recycling stream of paper and cardboard.
On the other hand, there are plans for limitation of MOSH/MOAH transfer from recycled packaging to food stuff. To this end, an amendment to the German Commodity Ordinance was planned. This was initially rejected by the German Bundesrat pending further evaluation by EFSA.
