Food contact articles are products used during production/processing (e.g., machines for food production, devices/articles for cooking), marketing (e.g., packaging materials), or consumption (e.g., tableware, cutlery) of food items that come into contact with food or may affect it.

The leaflet from the State Agency for Nature, Environment, and Consumer Protection of North Rhine-Westphalia is primarily aimed at traders of food contact articles and provides information on general and material-specific requirements as well as necessary labeling elements for products.
