About the 2019 Workshop

The 2019 Food Packaging Forum (FPF) Workshop took place on October 24, 2019 under the theme “Improving the chemical safety of food contact articles: Accelerating science and innovation.” The event featured high profile speakers and offered an international platform for exchanging views and ideas with stakeholders across the field of food contact materials (FCMs).

The FPF Workshop is a one-of-a-kind annual event in the field of FCMs to learn about recent developments in science, business, advocacy, and regulation. The workshop also provided access to a live webinar of the event for a minimal registration fee. Participants who could not attend the workshop in person, therefore still had the opportunity to follow the speaker presentations, Q&As, and the podium discussion as well as share their questions live with the speakers.

All of the presentations were recorded and are available below. A series of summary articles were also written about the presentations. For any questions related to the workshop, please contact events(at)fp-forum.org.
