Food Contact Materials (FCMs) Testing & Compliance

Food contact regulations become increasingly more stringent in every country and region, in favour of the safety and health of the population and a sustainable development. The Authorities impart civil and penal liability upon manufacturers, importers and brand owners.

Food contact materials shall not:

  • Endanger human health
  • Cause any unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs
  • Cause any deterioration of the organoleptic characteristics of the foodstuffs

The specific requirements for Food Packaging and Food Contact Materials are highly dependent on the type of materials:

  • Plastics
  • Paper and board
  • Metals and alloys
  • Glass and ceramics
  • Wood
