The US FDA has been actively encouraging the reuse of plastic materials to produce new food packaging containers, but the application of recycled plastics to food packaging involves many health and safety issues. To this end, the FDA recently issued a document entitled "Recycling Plastics Applied in Food Packaging: Chemical Attention".
It is reported that the document evaluates the various applications of recycled plastics in food packaging and emphasizes the issues that need attention when applying such products. This document is an important guidance document for food packaging producers and food companies. Recycling of plastic packaging materials, use and packaging of foodstuffs The most important thing is that various contaminants that are used by consumers may appear in food packaging products made from recycled materials, and there is no controlled regeneration. Materials used in the packaging of food. In addition, various excipients used for recycled materials may not comply with food safety-related regulations. In order to remove these concerns, the FDA stipulates that every proposal for the use of recycled plastics must adopt the principle of one-on-one discussion. Regardless of whether or not the plastic products produced in the recycling process can be used in food packaging, it must first be reviewed accordingly. Producers who want to use recycled plastics in food packaging must provide relevant review materials to the FDA, including providing a full description of the recycling process; sources of recycled plastics, and descriptions of the sources of modern production to ensure that they are used for recycling. Plastics are in compliance with available regulations. The description of the process measures ensures that the recycled plastic is not contaminated on several points. Any test data for contaminants, whether before or during regeneration, should be reported to the FDA. When using renewable plastics as raw materials to make plastic substitutes, the production unit must prove that these substitutes are not contaminated or passed through the food. Tests have shown that the regeneration process used can remove possible contamination. (Liu Yan)
