To clarify the regulatory logic and key compliance requirements for food contact materials across different economies, this paper conducted a comparative analysis of the relevant regulations in China, Japan and the European Union from 4 dimensions: Regulatory frameworks, new substance assessment, product information transmission and notification and alert mechanisms. The results showed that all 3 jurisdictions took “ensuring food safety” as the core objective and had established a dual-layer framework consisting of general regulations and material-specific requirements, with common features in areas such as good manufacturing practice (GMP) requirements and regulatory notification systems. The differences were mainly reflected in new substance assessment, where the processes in China and the European Union are relatively well developed, while Japan’s system remains to be further improved; and in labeling management, where China and the European Union had clear standards, whereas Japan had yet to establish a unified approach. This study can provide reference for cross-border compliance of Chinese food contact material enterprises and offer theoretical support for the further alignment of China’s regulatory system with international standards.
