Our ICP experts also offer a range of seminars tailored to SMEs, including “Material Food Contact Safety” (4 hours). When food comes into contact with various materials, it can impact food quality and, in turn, human health. Consequently, legislation enforces strict regulations and standards to verify compliance. This seminar covers current regulations on food contact materials, including paper, cardboard, and plastic, as well as standardized procedures for assessing the suitability of these materials for food contact. Additionally, we explore trends and critical aspects of sustainable materials and packaging.
