Paper packaging materials and food safety

Packaging should be adjusted to the features of a specific product. Choosing relevant packaging materials is a complex issue due to a huge variety of products, packaging materials and systems. Natural materials used for packaging production, such as paper and board, pose little risk to the environment or human health. However, operations requiring converting and functional properties, for example printing, may lead to contamination of packed products. The easiest and the only effective method to protect products against negative impacts resulting from the migration of substances from packaging is the use of properly selected materials.
