Non-intentionally added substances (NIAS)
NIAS are chemicals present in food contact materials and articles which have not been added for a technical reason. They include side products, breakdown products, and contaminants. Although more and more NIAS have been identified over time, by far not all are known. Risk assessment and management of NIAS therefore present particular challenges. The updated dossiers in English and German replace the previous edition with the DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.33514.
