Packaging Chemicals—After Being OK’d for Use—Get Another Look

Packaging Chemicals—After Being OK’d for Use—Get Another Look

By Eric F. Greenberg, Attorney-at-law

FDA will hold a September 25 public meeting about an “enhanced systematic process” for “post-market assessment of chemicals in food.” The agency made clear that food contact substances, such as those from food packaging, are part of the project, as are ingredients considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), food additives, color additives, and contaminants.

This new FDA effort may end up placing new obligations on packagers, though if your work involves food packaging, you are well familiar with the various efforts you and others already apply to assuring their safety.
