EU legislation on Food Contacts with specific materials

Regenerated Cellulose Film


​The Regenerated cellulose film is a thin sheet material obtained from a refined cellulose derived from unrecycled wood or cotton. Regenerated cellulose film may be coated or not on one or both sides.

The EU set-up rules to use this material if in contact with food.
  • There is the Commission Directive 2007/42/EC, provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, concerning materials and articles intended to come into contact with food
  • It defines regenerated cellulose film
  • It lays down a list of substances authorised in the manufacture of regenerated cellulose film, as well as quantities not to be exceeded so as to protect consumers’ health
​
The Directive applies to regenerated cellulose film — either in the form of a finished product in itself or part of a finished product containing other materials — which is intended to come into contact or placed in contact with food.

It covers the following categories:

  1. uncoated regenerated cellulose film;
  2. coated regenerated cellulose film with coating derived from cellulose; or
  3. coated regenerated cellulose film with coating consisting of plastics.

It does not apply to synthetic casings of regenerated cellulose.
