What the materials cover

The presentation materials from this introductory course provide an overview of current food contact and consumer goods legislation for plastic packaging. Topics include Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, migration testing, declarations of conformity, GMP and the interaction between food and packaging. The materials also address responsibility and risks within the supply chain. Two exercises deepen the content: reviewing documents and declarations of conformity, and selecting and evaluating migration tests. The materials are useful for staff in quality assurance, development, packaging technology, purchasing and production who must implement and assess food law requirements in their companies.
