Choosing and purchasing the right packaging is not an easy task for Food Business Operators. The product should satisfy the need to preserve food or beverages while also attracting the attention of consumers. Additionally, there is an increasing marketing push for a "green" choice, considering the growing environmental concerns. Many packaging producers offer items made from recycled plastics or paper. While this is a way to be sustainable, in such cases, "non-intentionally added substances" (NIAS) that can contaminate the product are more frequently present.
This webinar aims to provide information about the evolution of the regulatory and risk management scenario, featuring high-level scientific talks followed by insights about services offered by some vendors.
We would like to kindly ask you to send us your questions in advance.
We will have limited time to answer questions asked in real time, however the speaker(s) will be answering selected pre-collected questions. Please submit your questions to [email protected] before October 16, 2023.
