Food Safety Compliance 2011 - The Future for Nano-materials in Food Contact Packaging

This webinar on Nano-materials in Food Contact Packaging will explore regulatory considerations of definitions, risk levels, and experimental data needed to gain clearance for nano engineered materials in functional food packaging.

The potential for innovative packaging solutions using nano engineered materials depends on the ability to demonstrate their safety to regulatory agencies and the public. Agencies around the world are on record that a substance used as a nano-scale food additive will not necessarily have the same regulatory status provided to its larger forms.

This webinar will detail the status of critical regulatory thinking on such issues as the definition of nanomaterials for food packaging material clearance, risk factors used by agencies in making determinations, and experimental data needed to gain clearance.
