Samenvatting:

The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials assessed the safety of 2,2’-oxydiethylamine, which is intended to be used at up to 14% w/w as a monomer along with adipic acid and caprolactam to make polyamide thin films intended for single use, in contact with all types of food under all conditions of time and temperature. Specific migration of 2,2’-oxydiethylamine was tested from a polyamide film in water and was below the limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.015 mg/kg. Migration of impurities has been estimated pro-rata. Migrating oligomers were identified and semi-quantified in 10% ethanol, 3% ac…
