Packaging Contaminants: what’s new?

One of the functions of packaging is to protect the food we eat. This is why they are controlled by specific tests: contaminants in packaging could migrate into the food with which it comes into contact.

Among the most studied substances, some are in the spotlight because they are particularly problematic, the subject of recent opinions by food safety agencies, or because their acceptable concentration limits in packaging have been revised.

Following last year’s webinars that included important topics such as PFAS and Mineral Oils, Mérieux NutriSciences is happy to invite you to follow the short webinar series on other packaging contaminants:
