Guidelines to food contact materials and packaging in Japan - Japan Legislation

The process of globalization of markets has led to a situation in
which the distances between the various countries have been
significantly reduced. This guide is designed to understand the
legislative situation for materials and packaging in contact with
food in Japan.
The guideline also includes links to the main Japanese
legislation for direct consultation and it is a part of a great
project starting in September that will include a series of books
about Asean markets legislation on FCM.
