據(jù)歐盟食品安全局消息，應(yīng)歐委會要求，5月6日歐盟食品安全局就PET回收過程“Phoenix - ESPS”的安全性評估發(fā)表科學(xué)意見。

　　“Phoenix - ESPS”工藝用于回收PET粉末，之后用于生產(chǎn)PET食品接觸材料與制品，這些材料或者制品用于室溫下直接接觸食品，無論有無熱灌裝。

　　專家組經(jīng)過評估得出結(jié)論認(rèn)為，由該回收過程回收的PET用于食品接觸材料生產(chǎn)時(shí)，不會造成安全問題。

　　部分原文報(bào)道如下：

　　The Panel concluded that the recycled PET obtained from the process Phoenix ESPS intended to be used at up to 100 % for the manufacture of materials and articles for contact with all types of foodstuffs for long term storage at room temperature, with or without hot-fill is not considered of safety concern.

　　The Panel recommended thatit should be verified periodically, as part of the good manufacturing practice （GMP）， that as foreseen in the Regulation （EC） No 282/2008, art. 4b, the input originates from materials and articles that have been manufactured in accordance with the Community legislation on food contact materials and that the proportion of PET from non-food consumer applications is no more than 5 % in the input to be recycled. Critical steps should be monitored and kept under control; supporting documentation on how it is ensured that the critical steps are operated under conditions at least as severe as those obtained from the challenge test used to measure the decontamination efficiency of the processes should be available.
