Proceedings workshop on quality evaluation of food packaging

Recently a workshop, developed by the ILSI North America, brought scientists together to discuss the state of the science regarding the safety of food packaging.
In the opening session experts discussed migration of contaminant residues from food packaging, presented emerging analytical methods for safety evaluation, and highlighted the use of improved exposure assessment models and new packaging technologies. Experts then discussed application of recycled materials, recycling processes, identification of contaminant residues from recycled packaging, and challenges in safety assessment of recycled materials. An article about the workshop is published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology.
