Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment in Food Contact

THE FUTURE OF RISK ASSESSMENT FOR FOOD CONTACT MATERIALS AND ARTICLES

The use of risk assessment approaches for safety determination of food contact materials (FCM) and articles has become increasingly important as a result of the current strict regulatory requirements and in light of the increasing innovation activities both in plastic and in non-plastic materials

Moreover, the new requirements that the European Green Deal is posing to industry will become a must in the next few years, the impulse towards a more sustainable and safer chemistry will certainly have an impact on FCM.

How industry will cope with these new requirements? How to deal with new, more sustainable, raw materials? Will the existing paradigms of risk assessment be still valid? Decades of development in the FCM field to achieve high performances and safety features would likely need to be rediscussed. For such reason, the Italian Institute of Packaging has decided to gather in this conference some of the most highly reputed experts in FCM, and establish a platform to tackle the complexity of how risk assessment should adapt in light of the new challenges.

We're proud to announce that our Head of Food Contact and DSM, Michela Gallo, will give a speech about Microplastics: potential release from packaging and food devices.
