FSANZ opens consultation on protein-glutamine glutaminase processing aid
What moved
FSANZ opened consultation on a draft variation permitting protein-glutamine glutaminase from Bacillus licheniformis containing a gene from Chryseobacterium viscerum as a processing aid. Proposed uses include dairy and fermented milk products, milk and meat analogues, yeast products and protein hydrolysates. This is a consultation, not an authorisation.
Why it matters
The enzyme may be relevant to protein solubility, emulsification, foaming and flavour in applications that overlap with Nactarome customer markets. Its production-organism, processing-aid and customer-policy status must remain market specific.

AMBER
Packaging Europe analysisEuropean Union / InternationalPublished 5 Aug 2026Deadline PPWR general application 12 Aug 2026
Packaging media highlights immediate PPWR food-contact PFAS and documentation exposure
What moved
Packaging Europe analysed the Commission's latest PPWR FAQ shortly before general application. The coverage is an industry interpretation, not separate legal movement. It usefully elevates food-contact PFAS limits, manufacturer roles, conformity documentation and stock treatment that must be checked against the Regulation and Commission guidance.
Why it matters
Commercial headlines may understate that food-contact packaging placed on the EU market after 12 August must meet Article 5(5) PFAS limits, while packaging already placed on the market before that date may remain. Nactarome needs packaging-specific supplier evidence and placing-on-the-market records.

AMBER
Regulation (EU) 2025/40European UnionPublished FAQ published 3 Aug 2026Deadline General application 12 Aug 2026
Commission publishes second-edition PPWR FAQ before application
What moved
The Commission's second PPWR FAQ clarifies manufacturer responsibility for branded, generic and custom-made packaging; Article 15 identification and contact information; declarations of conformity and technical-document duties; pre-application stock; importer checks; and an initially corrective enforcement approach. It also confirms that food-contact packaging placed on the market after 12 August 2026 must comply with the Article 5(5) PFAS limits, while packaging placed on the market before that date may remain and does not need to be withdrawn. The FAQ is official guidance, not binding law. Later recyclability, recycled-content, labelling, reuse and EPR duties retain their own dates and transitions.
Why it matters
Nactarome may be the PPWR manufacturer for branded packaged products or custom-made packaging even when another company makes or fills it. Food-contact packaging now needs prioritised PFAS evidence against the 25 ppb individual, 250 ppb sum and 50 ppm total-fluorine/PFAS evidence framework in Article 5(5). Packaging suppliers must provide required information, but the responsible manufacturer retains the legal responsibility. Food-law traceability data does not automatically satisfy PPWR identification and documentation requirements.

AMBER
International / US / UKPublished 15–23 Jul 2026
UPF moves from scientific debate toward policy architecture
What moved
WHO is developing guidance on ultra-processed foods; FDA and USDA continue work toward a uniform US definition; and the UK Parliament has renewed scrutiny of the food environment. Advocacy and litigation coverage is intensifying, while no single globally binding UPF definition exists.
Why it matters
Flavours, colours, emulsifiers, texture systems and other authorised ingredients may be used as proxies in customer or policy discussions about processing. The commercial pressure can therefore move faster than ingredient law.

Annex to CXS 1-1985 · CAC49InternationalPublished 7 Jul 2026
