On December 18, 2025, the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) adopted Resolution No. 34/25, issuing the Technical Regulation on Silicone Materials, Packaging, Coatings, and Equipment for Food Contact. This regulation establishes a list of substances permitted for use in silicone materials intended for food contact, while repealing the provisions on silicones contained in Part V of the Annex to the Technical Regulation on the List of Monomers, Other Starting Substances, and Polymers Authorized for the Manufacture of Plastic Packaging and Equipment for Food Contact (GMC Resolution No. 02/12), as well as the provisions on silicone elastomers, additives specifically authorized for silicone elastomers, and related notes in the Technical Regulation on the List of Authorized Elastomer Packaging and Equipment for Food Contact (GMC Resolution No. 28/99).
For the list of silicone materials for food contact, please refer to the Mercosur-Technical Regulation on Positive List of FCM Silicone Raw Materials (GMC RES 34-2025) (https://www.chemradar.com/en/tools/cis/inv/698e82b6d63909e613e2a550).

Update the Mercosur-Technical Regulation on the Positive List of Elastomeric Materials used in Packaging and Equipment in Contact with Food (GMC RES 28-1999) - Remove substances related to silicone materials for food contact.
