    Food Grade Plastic Used For Food & Beverage

    Plastic is widely used in Food Packaging, Storage, Transportation, etc. Plastic Material Quality used is a key factor in ensuring that Food retains its Quality. Different Additives are used in Plastic Production to alter the Chemical properties like Softening, Flexibility, Elasticity, Malleability, Processability, Stability, Anti-oxidant, Light-Stability, and so on. Some of these Additives with Low Molecular Weight can Migrate into Food Products making them Toxic for Human Consumption. Packaging Material leachates directly impact the Flavor, Taste, and Quality of the Food and Drinks. .

    EFRAC Evaluates Food-contact Packaging and Related Materials to ensure that these Materials comply with necessary Global Regulations helping the Products to be Marketed promptly and safely. EFRAC provides Expert Insight and Comprehensive Food Packaging Solutions including Packaging Migration testing, Packaging Migration & Food Contact Testing, Specific Migration, Sensory Analysis, Color Migration, Overall Product Safety Analysis, Bisphenol A, B etc.
