The Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), established in 1991, is a regional economic organization composed of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In the field of food safety, MERCOSUR protects consumer health by establishing uniform norms and standards to ensure the safety and quality of food contact materials. The Technical Regulation on Positive List of FCM Plastic Additives (GMC RES 39-2019) specifically targets additives used in food contact plastics, including stabilizers, plasticizers, and other relevant chemicals. It outlines restrictions and specification requirements to ensure the safety and suitability of these chemicals when they come into contact with food.
