Examining Regulation (EU) 2026/1825 and its implications for food products
BAAR, SWITZERLAND, September 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a new white paper, ‘New EU requirements for 3-MCPD, 3-MCPDE and glycidyl esters in food’, to help food businesses understand and prepare for the latest EU regulatory requirements.
The white paper examines the European Commission’s latest amendments affecting 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD), 3-MCPD fatty acid esters (3-MCPDE) and glycidyl fatty acid esters (GE), and outlines the implications for manufacturers, importers, retailers and food testing laboratories.
Regulation (EU) 2026/1825 introduces new and revised maximum levels for these contaminants in a range of food products. The changes include new requirements for compound foods, stricter limits for certain products intended for babies, infants and young children and additional analytical testing and conformity assessment considerations.
The white paper reviews the regulatory background, explains the key amendments and provides practical guidance for implementing the new requirements.
The white paper explores:
– Why Regulation (EU) 2026/1825 has been introduced
– New and revised maximum levels for 3-MCPD, 3-MCPDE and glycidyl esters
– New requirements for compound foods and products intended for babies, infants and young children
– Key analytical testing and conformity assessment considerations
– Regulatory transition periods and compliance deadlines
– Practical steps to review monitoring programs, supply chain controls and compliance strategies
The white paper also examines analytical testing considerations, including method selection, result interpretation and conformity assessment under the revised framework.
