Marketing of food contact products containing plastic and bamboo together is banned in EU member states, National Food Chain Safety Agency (Nébih) grants grace period to distributors until next quarter to withdraw these products from the market, the agency told MTI on Wednesday.

According to the announcement, in recent years, more and more food-contact articles made of plastic (usually melamine) and the addition of bamboo or other “natural-based” materials have been marketed. (MTI)
