The Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services recently approved a new regulation, amending their existing Food Contact Regulations. 

The purpose of the amendment is implement EU Regulation (EU) No. 2018/213 on the use of bisphenol A (BPA) in paint and coatings intended to come into contact with foodstuffs into Norwegian Law. 

The Norwegian implementation contains no changes from the European text.

The EU Regulation also bans the use of BPA in the manufacture of baby bottles and children/ toddler 'sippy" cups.
