FEICA in the news
European Coatings Journal (ECJ) published FEICA article on the Risk Assessment of Cyclic Esters.
In this article, Jana Cohrs, FEICA Executive Director Regulatory Affairs, explains that FEICA carried out a risk assessment on cyclic esters potentially present in polyester adhesives intended to be used in food contact materials.
In this guidance document, FEICA aims to provide clarification on how to risk assess mineral oil hydrocarbons in adhesives and, in case testing is needed, how to perform the test and evaluate the results. A decision tree is also included to allow customers to evaluate an adhesive for its intended application.

FEICA publishes Summary Report of the FEICA risk assessment of cyclic esters in polyester adhesives
Press release: FEICA has published a Summary Report of a FEICA risk assessment carried out on cyclic esters potentially present in polyester adhesives intended to be used in food contact materials. The FEICA document aims to provide the necessary information to help downstream users carry out their own risk assessments. The summary report published by FEICA intends to outline the main findings of the risk assessment and explain that human exposure to cyclic esters from polyester pre-polymers in food packaging adhesives is not relevant from a toxicological point of view.
FEICA addresses the China National Centre for Food Safety Risk Assessment to develop legislation for adhesives with the aim of ensuring the safety of food packaging.

FEICA has raised its concern towards JRC (Joint Research Centre of the European Commission) on the limitations of test methods like LC-GC-FID for measuring the MOH content in food contact materials.
