Since January 2024, the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) enforces strict action limits on MOAH contamination in food products. With the European Commission set to adopt similar maximum levels in 2025 (applicable from 2027), you face an urgent compliance challenge. Together, we can transform this challenge into an opportunity for your business. Does your operation have the expertise to prevent product withdrawals, recalls, and potential brand damage?

Understanding the Problem

  • HEALTH RISKS: MOSH accumulates in human tissues, while MOAH can be genotoxic and carcinogenic, posing serious consumer health concerns.
  • MOSH & MOAH CONTAMINATION: these contaminants can enter food at various stages, from production to packaging, through sources such as lubricants, processing aids, recycled packaging materials, worn food contact surfaces, environmental exposure, contaminated raw inputs, and traditional materials like jute or sisal bags using mineral oil-based adhesives.
  • REGULATORY COMPLEXITY: the regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving across the EU and BENELUX region. Authorities like the NVWA in the Netherlands and EU bodies have introduced increasingly strict compliance milestones, making it essential for food producers to stay ahead of change.
