⚠️ Looking at the data shows current regulatory requirements do not sufficiently protect public health from hazardous food contact chemicals. This is because only individual substances used to make food contact materials are tested for only a few toxicological endpoints such as carcinogenicity and genotoxicity. However, thousands of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) can end up in the final product, and there are many other important endpoints such as endocrine disruption not routinely assessed.

🌍 Leading scientists from the Food Packaging Forum and other international research institutions have shared a vision for achieving safer food contact materials through better testing.
