Packaging is not the first thing we think of when we think of food. However, the biosafety of the materials used in food packaging impact the food contained within. So, it is essential to understand the health and safety consequences of the packaging. For more information, read this EFSA article on food contact materials regulations.
All food packaging materials, known as food contact materials, must be evaluated for their potential for transferring harmful substances to food. Every supplier in the supply chain for food contact materials is responsible for demonstrating compliance with all applicable rules and regulations regarding food contact materials.
SAXOCON can help you ensure that your materials comply with EU and FDA rules concerning food contact materials.
