GPSR
REGULATION (EU) 2023/988 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 10 May 2023 on general product safety, amending Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive (EU) 2020/1828 of the European Parliament and the Council, and repealing Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 87/357/EEC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(11) Union law on food, feed and related areas sets up a specific system ensuring the safety of the products covered by it. Indeed, food and feed products have a specific legal framework established, in particular, by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). Furthermore, food and feed products are also regulated by Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), which ensures a harmonised approach with regard to official controls for verifying compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules. Therefore, food and feed products should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation, with the exception of materials and articles intended to come into contact with food insofar as risks are concerned that are not covered by Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) or by other food-specific legislation which only covers chemical and biological food-related risks.
