Introduction database food contact materials

Both producers of packaging materials and food businesses have to comply with EU legislation on food contact materials, including packaging materials. Establishing that the packaging you use is safe is a tough job. Riskplaza offers the tool: the food contact materials database.

The food contact materials database provides insight into the hazards associated with packaging materials and, in the near future, other food contact materials. Find out which legislation, migration characteristics and storage conditions apply to them and discover possible food safety hazards and control measures.

Product manager Manoeska Stolk: 'We received signals that it is often very complex to check whether packaging materials are safe. It was difficult to quickly and easily assess a Declaration of Compliance (DoC). In addition, legislation is changing rapidly. Drawing up a risk analysis is quite a challenge for some food companies, but auditors are increasingly asking for it. With this third database of Riskplaza it is made very easy'.
