Itene Foundation discussion on the new challenges of the food packaging

19/04/2011

on April 19, 2011

Itene Foundation organizes, on 10 may, a workshop entitled 'Adaptation of the new legislation applicable to packaging food security' in order to guide corporate users and manufacturers of packaging and raw materials related to the correct performance of the changes in European law that regulates all the materials in contact with food. The workshop, with the participation of speakers such as the Spanish Association for standardisation and certification (AENOR), is conceived as a point of view practical and interactive between students and teachers to promote the debate.

Legislation European, and by extension the Spanish, on materials in contact with food, is updated based on new scientific progress in this area, thus allowing a greater security of the consumer and the progressive elimination of ambiguity and empty legal with which companies are often found. With this aim, recently, the Regulation (EU) has published no. 10/2011 of the Commission, on January 14, 2011, on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, which will be applicable, in large part, from 1 may of this year.

The workshop will analyse this new regulation, which includes and supersedes all Community legislation on plastics, introducing changes in migration testing, food simulantes and lists of authorised substances, as well as specifically including multi-component and multi-layer materialsignored so far. Given that the competent authorities and the industry must adapt its testing standards to the updated provisions, there will be transition periods which make possible and facilitate this work. The day will include a specific statement on the special requirements of packaging/plastic materials for infants and young children, including information on the dispute and measures recently taken on bisphenol A and the polycarbonate bottles.

It will also address the specific legislation on recycled plastic containers/materials and packaging/materials active and intelligent food applications, whose adaptation is currently in progress, although slowed due to the enormous efforts that require processes of evaluation by the European Agency for food security (EFSA) and the European Commission

The day will focus on changes in European food safety legislation applied to the packaging

The day will focus on changes in European food safety legislation applied to the packaging.

Also, this workshop will present the current state of the regulation of all materials for packaging (paper and cardboard, glass, ceramics, silicones, wood, inks, adhesives, Cork, etc.), which may or may not be combined with plastic packaging andYou will discuss the present and future of other material of great interest, such as those related to nanotechnology.

The packaging and packaging technology evolves offering new solutions to the food, related to its quality and service life. Despite the continued need for improvement in the properties of the packaging, remains food security as a starting point for any work in these fields. Good manufacturing practices and the documents that testify, including declarations of conformity, are legal requirements to be discussed at this event.
