Draft amendments to the Fifth Schedule of the Food Irradiation Regulations 2011 [P.U. (A) 143/2011]. Permitted Packaging Materials for Food to be Irradiated |
| Summary |
The proposed amendment to the Fifth Schedule of the Food Irradiation Regulations 2011 [P.U. (A) 143/2011] is to include four new packaging materials and their maximum permitted dose (kGy) for Permitted Packaging Materials for Food to be Irradiated.
The Codex Alimentarius provides general guidelines for food irradiation but does not specify the permitted packaging materials. Meanwhile, the US Food and Drug Administration has established detailed regulations and an approved list of packaging materials for use during irradiation of pre-packaged foods. Therefore, this proposed amendment is aligned with the FDA 21 CFR Part 179, Section 179.45.
