What the materials cover

These presentation materials from the seminar on interactions between packaging and contents cover how packaging and food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical products can influence each other. They explain the risks of migration and permeation and show how packaging designs are assessed with regard to functional barriers. The legal framework for food contact materials, including Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, forms the basis. Further sections address raw material selection and characterisation, practical measures to reduce mineral oil migration and comply with specific migration limits, and the tools and exercises used during the course. The documents are aimed at quality assurance, production and development staff, and anyone working with interactions in the food and packaging industry.
