The amendment to the Public Health Protection (Food) Notice (Application of Changes to the Annex to the European Union Directives) (Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food), which deals with plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. The amendment was published in Israel's Official Gazette, section of Government Notice no 12126 on 16 December 2025. It adopts and amends several changes to the Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, in accordance with changes implemented in Europe.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 of 14 January 2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food was adopted in Israel as part of Amendment No. 10 to the Public Health Protection (Food) Law, 5776 - 2015 (notified in G/TBT/N/ISR/1332/Rev.1), and appears in item 16 of the Second Annex A to the Law with a few deviations as detailed in columns A and C, in addition to the exceptions as stated in Section 3A(a1) to (a5) of the Law. The adopted European edition was the version valid as of 31 August 2023. This regulation was applied in Israel only to the following: (a) a proper importer importing food through the European route; (b) a manufacturer holding a proper manufacturing certificate or a manufacturer having a certificate of submission of an undertaking, in which the provisions of Section 321A of the Food Law are met; (c) a marketer who purchased or received food of those mentioned above. It is now proposed to apply the change to the adopted Regulation (EC) 10/2011 in full, as implemented in the European Union by 10 September 2025. The main change introduced in this proposed Order is updating the definitions and the high degree of purity of raw materials, as well as general requirements for materials used in the production of plastic materials that come into contact with food. It is also clarified that the exceptions listed in Column A of Item 16 in Appendix II A will continue to apply to the proposed changes to be implemented in Israel.
