migration of chemicals from packaging materials is a major concern for manufacturers, suppliers and the regulatory bodies responsible for consumer safety and health.the extent to which a substance migrates depends on the chemical, the makeup of the materials from which it could be released and the food with which it comes into contact.testing for compliance can be done by looking at the food, the food contact material to check that it does not contain residues that can migrate at levels that could cause problems and at food simulants to mimic the migration properties of different categories of foods.concerns have been raised about recycled fibres and mineral oils in paper packaging, the reuse of plastic containers, packaging adhesives, and the use of epoxy resins such as bisphenol a bpa in cans.this forum will look at if how big of a problem it is and what action needs to be taken, if any, recent and upcoming regulation and what can be done to tackle the challenges faced by industry.expert speakers will cover the myths and facts of packaging migration, potential impact of nanomaterials and future issues that could have an impact on industry.
