Food Packaging: A Matter
of Food Safety
Food packaging through history
For ages, conservation and storage of food has always
been a concern…

Food packaging through history
1800s First metal can (“canning” invented by Nicolas Appert) Paper manufacturing (paper bags and paperboard cartons)
1900s
Glass golden years until 1960 (but too much unfavorable characteristics such as heaviness, high costs and breakability) Metal packages (physical protection and barrier properties but issues due to presence of tin in metal packages and corrosion) Plastics (a whole history only for plastics evolution and innovation throughout time)
4
Food packaging through history
2000s Active packaging (interact with the product and its environment; plays an active role in the food quality and extend shelf life of foods)
Systems that absorb substances (e.g. O2 scavengers, moisture
regulators…)
Systems that release active compounds (e.g. antimicrobial films,
antioxidant packaging)

Main objective let our food become safer and protect
the consumers
But packaging materials also contribute to:
• Food safety and quality: A package provides
protection, tampering resistance, and physical,
chemical, or biological barriers.
• Environment: Packaging helps to extend shelf-life of
products and participates to a best use of resources to
prevent food waste.
• Economy: Packaging favours an easy distribution of
products and easier food storage, which contributes to
reduce costs.

Consumers’ standards:
Items on sales
Creates packages waste
- Plastic pollution in the seas and oceans
(7th continent…).
- Food packaging accounts for almost 2/3 of
total packaging waste by volume3.
Food Waste1 • European citizens waste on average 157 kg of packaging/person/year;
• Around 88 million tons of food are wasted annually in the EU2;
• Between 1/3 and 1/2 of the world food production is not consumed,
leading to negative impacts throughout the food supply chain;
• The costs associated with food waste for EU-28 in 2012 are estimated at
around 143 billion euros;
• Packaging materials are an integral part of the packages waste:

Food packaging legislation
11
European law requires that ‘any potential migration
into food does not raise safety concerns or change
the food in an unacceptable way, for example the
taste and smell’
‘(…) to ensure components of food contact articles,
including food packaging and processing
equipment, are safe for their intended use. These
articles are composed of food contact materials,
that contain or are made of food contact
substances (FCSs) (…). FCSs typically include
coatings, plastics, paper, adhesives, colorants,
antimicrobials, and antioxidants’

Food packaging: How does it affect our food?
Direct Food Contact Indirect Food Contact
Contact transfer Diffusion migration
Set-off migration Migration due to
heating
Direct contact with food. Example: Fruit sticker
Migration of substances through the
packaging into food.
Example: Thin-walled bottles
Migration from printed to
unprinted side. Example: stacking
of printed cups
Migration of gaseous or vaporous
substances during heating. Example:
Microwave ready meals
Packages are key in ensuring the safety of food. A careful evaluation of
food contact materials (FCM) and their interactions with food is needed to
ensure consumers’ safety. 12

• Activities on Food Waste at ILSI Europe: Has been
highlighted as an Emerging Issue, development of the
activity is currently in progress.
• European Commission: “The central goal of EU food
safety policy is to protect both human and animal health.
We (…) are looking for every opportunity to prevent
food waste and strengthen sustainability of the food
system”. (European Commission (2014). Legislative proposal to
review recycling and other waste-related targets in the EU. Retrieved

Food packaging: a topic in the spotlight
Food packaging issues: some specific
examples The ‘Pizza case’: Recycled carton used for pizza boxes may be harmful
for human health because of chemicals or printing inks (i.e. that contain
mineral oils) in contact with the pizza may cause inflammation and
cancer

ILSI Europe International Symposia on Food Packaging
Organised every four years, ILSI Europe International Symposia on
Food Packaging are dubbed the Olympics of Food Packaging.
These events aim at:
• Looking at the advances being made in the science
related to the safety and quality of packaged foods;
• Debating the new developments, innovation and
technological trends in the field;
• Disseminating results of on-going research;
• Examining implications for the future.
Internationally recognised as a scientific forum to discuss
the science that ensures the safety and quality of food
packaging!

Reports
Activities
Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS)
• Packaging materials are made from of a wide range of chemical
substances that may contain impurities, by‐products and cross-
reaction products.
• Most of these non‐intentionally added substances are poorly
characterised, have not been toxicologically evaluated and may
migrate into detectable amounts into food.
• Draft guidance document to apply risk assessment principles to
NIAS originating from food contact materials and their potential
chemical migrants reviewed at a multi-stakeholder workshop in
April 2014.
• The guidance document was published in July 2015 in the ILSI
Europe Report Series.

Evaluation of Food Contact Materials”
• Review the roles, availability and suitability of in vitro bioassays for
safety assessment of FCM
• This initiative will:
• Improve packaging safety evaluation
• Allow focusing resources on most relevant issues
• Reduce the use of laboratory animals.
