Food Contact Films – Compliance Requirements and Why Certification Matters
Films and packaging materials intended for contact with food must meet strict safety and regulatory requirements to ensure that they do not adversely affect consumer health or change the taste, smell, or quality of food upon contact.
In the European Union, food contact materials must comply with the general framework set out in Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and specific requirements for plastics under Regulation (EU) 10/2011, which set limits on substance migration and safety conditions.
Why certification is important:
-
Ensures high level of food safety.
-
Demonstrates compliance with EU and national food contact legislation.
-
Builds confidence in the supply chain.
