Description

EU harmonized legislation on food contact materials focuses on ensuring that materials and articles intended for contact with food do not transfer harmful substances to the food. Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, as amended, sets specific requirements for plastics, including migration testing to evaluate the potential transfer of substances. This involves the use of food simulants that mimic real-world conditions, ensuring that packaging materials remain safe under typical food storage and handling scenarios. Advanced migration testing covers overall migration, which measures the total amount of substances migrating into food, and specific migration, which focuses on particular hazardous substances like phthalates or primary aromatic amines. Challenges such as the purity of vegetable oils used in simulants, interfering substances, and the surface-to-volume ratio of packaging materials require careful consideration. Functional barriers, designed to prevent migration from layers not in direct contact with food, play a crucial role in ensuring compliance.

Innovations in screening methods have begun to replace traditional migration testing in some cases, improving efficiency. However, situations where conventional methods are impractical, such as the use of Simulant D2 or complex multi-layered materials, demand advanced techniques for accurate results, all within the regulatory framework set by the EU..
