The impact of packaging materials on food safety

According to the news released by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade Committee on August 18, 2010 (G/TBT/N/PRY/32), the Paraguayan Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare - National Food and Nutrition Research Institute has developed Measures for the Administration of Registration of Contact Packaging Materials, which regulates packaging materials and substances in contact with food, and stipulates that the production of these products is subject to good manufacturing practices to ensure that the products produced do not contain toxic or hazardous substances, and Change the sensory characteristics of food. The draft regulations indicate that the key products for this mandatory registration will be food contact packaging materials such as PET, EP, PS, and PP. It is expected that the mandatory registration of food contact packaging materials will be extended to other food contact packaging materials such as plastics, fibers, glass, ceramics, metals, and elastic materials after one year of implementation of the regulations.

Food safety has been placed in front of people more than once, and what I am going to tell today is the topic of food waste. To some extent, food waste is also an environmental pollution. However, for an industrial chain, packaging materials used in food, food transportation, logistics and other stages are very important, and according to relevant data, as many as 35% of the world's food waste is wasted every year.

This number is shocking and tells us about the importance of food packaging for food safety. It is understood that the National Plastics Product Standardization Committee has organized experts to draft relevant standards. Among them, "Composite film for food packaging, bag general rule" has passed expert review. The relevant person said that there are only a few standards for composite film and bag for food packaging, but it is the first time to adopt new standards in the form of general rules.
According to relevant information, in Canada, plastic food bags (packages) used for high-temperature ready-to-eat foods must indicate the maximum temperature limit that can be used for packaging materials. If it is a fried patties that have just been hot and hot, you should never use ordinary food plastic bags. Because the meat cakes are hot, the ordinary plastic bags will slowly precipitate harmful substances and stick to the patties. Foods with a temperature above 50 degrees Celsius must be packed in paper media. In the UK, the Food Standards Agency and related agencies monitor the whole process of food packaging from the production level to the factory sales. Not only do the packaging require qualified labels and shelf life, but also the heat-resistant temperature must be clearly marked. It can be said that food packaging materials actually correspond to a kind of "invisible additive".

China's Food Sanitation Law stipulates that “food containers, packaging materials and food tools and equipment must comply with the hygiene standards and sanitary management regulations. Food containers, packaging materials and food tools and equipment produced using new raw materials. New varieties, production and operation enterprises must submit the materials needed for the health evaluation of the products before they are put into production. The above-mentioned new varieties must be sampled before being invested in production, and submitted for approval according to the prescribed food hygiene standard approval procedures. The packaging materials shall be inspected in accordance with the national health standards. If there is no national health standard, the El unit must provide the health evaluation information issued by the health department or organization of the exporting country (region), and it shall be examined by El Shore Food Hygiene Supervision and Inspection Agency. Inspection and report to the health administrative department of the State Council for approval."

According to the above regulations, China issued the national sanitary standards for food containers, packaging materials and processing aids in the 1980s and 1990s, and introduced a series of sanitary management methods for products, as various types of food containers and packaging materials. The regulatory basis for management. The National Food Hygiene Standards Committee of the Ministry of Health has established a Collaborative Group on Sanitary Standards for Food Packaging Materials to undertake evaluation and standard setting of new packaging materials and processing aids. However, due to a variety of factors, the current sanitary standards for some food containers, packaging materials and processing aids are longer, and some of the standards are not suitable for the development of the industry. The lack of effective quasi-human and management mechanisms for new packaging materials and processing aids has led to regulatory gaps in most packaging materials and processing aids currently on the market.

From the perspectives of regulations, management institutions, management procedures, etc., developed countries have established a relatively complete system of regulations and standards and efficient and clear management procedures, and the safety management of packaging materials is relatively mature. China should also introduce a operability packaging material access system as soon as possible, to amend relevant standards, and strengthen the construction of packaging materials safety evaluation and testing capabilities.
