Dr. Störmer brings many years of experience from her work at Fraunhofer IVV to the commission's work, particularly with regard to the migration of substances into food and other filling materials, as well as conformity assessment. Through her voluntary work, she will use her expertise to advise the BfR and contribute to the development of practical solutions. She attaches particular importance to professional exchange and discussion of current topics of high relevance to consumers. “With her appointment to this commission, which is very important for consumer protection, Angela Störmer is continuing our institute's long-standing representation on this committee,” said Prof. Dr. Andrea Büttner, managing director of the Fraunhofer IVV. Dr. Angela Störmer's membership in the commission will run from 2026 to 2029.

The Commission for Consumer Products advises the BfR on the health assessment of materials that come into contact with food, toys, and textiles. It develops recommendations that directly serve the safety and protection of consumers. A particular focus is on the potential health risks of substances in food contact materials.
