What the materials cover

This introductory course provides a compact overview of current food contact legislation as it applies to plastic packaging. The presentation materials cover the legal framework, declarations of conformity, and the evaluation of migration, sensory and residual solvent testing. They also address responsibility within the supply chain, the risks associated with food packaging, and the interaction between food and packaging. Practical exercises on document review and the selection of migration tests help translate these requirements into day-to-day operations. The materials are particularly useful for quality assurance, development, packaging technology and purchasing staff who have only recently taken on these topics.
