Packaging materials

MigrationMigration testing on materials in contact with foods

Assess the risks of chemical components migrating from the packaging into the food. Verify legislative compliance and check compliance declarations

Manufacturers, processors and importers of food contact products must guarantee product safety for the consumer by ensuring that there is no migration from the packaging into the food. Food contact materials must comply with strict regulations depending on the material type and where they will be marketed. Regarding food safety, it must be verified that food contact materials comply with the general legislative requirements (Framework Regulation (EU) No 1935/2004) as well as with the corresponding specific measures (e.g. Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 for plastic materials, RD 891/2006 for ceramics, RD 847/2011 for polymeric materials, etc.).
