Navigating the forensics of food contact materials to ensure packaging integrity and safety assurance

To preserve quality and reduce food wastage during transport, food products are often packaged in materials such as plastics, aluminum cans, or glass. However, the quality and integrity of these materials must be continuously evaluated by suppliers to ensure the composition of food is not changed due to the accumulation of migrant substances.

In this infographic, we explore the growing complexity of food contact material testing within global supply chains, the considerations that come with the increased use of recycled ingredients, legislative insights, and how suppliers can improve their compliance testing whilst supporting the increasing needs of research and development and quality testing departments.
