This company has made available a free white paper intended to help educate the industry about safety regulations in the flexible packaging market, and the perils of the current environment.

“Everyone is asking questions about rights, roles and responsibilities,” said Joseph Spinnato, Ph.D., regulatory compliance manager. “This white paper will help everyone across the supply chain understand how they can work together to minimize the risks posed by the changing landscape. It also offers a process outline, along with supporting data, for how to properly use migration studies during packaging development to help determine if products are fit for use.”

The white paper addresses technology trends, such as the use of ultraviolet (UV), electron beam (EB) and UV light-emitting diode (LED) radiation-curable materials. It also provides insights on regulations from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
