Migration Testing for Food Contact Materials (FCMs)
Migration testing is essential for ensuring the safety of food contact materials (FCMs) by assessing the transfer of substances from packaging to food. Our Migration Testing services help manufacturers verify that their FCMs comply with regulatory requirements and safety standards, protecting consumer health and ensuring product integrity.
Understanding Migration Testing
Migration testing involves evaluating how substances in food packaging materials might leach into food products under various conditions. This process is critical to ensure that FCMs do not pose any health risks. Key aspects include:
- Types of Migration: Testing can assess both overall migration (OM) and specific migration (SM) of individual substances.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring materials meet applicable regulations, such as EU regulations and FDA guidelines.
- Testing Conditions: Simulating real-life conditions such as temperature, time, and food types to evaluate migration potential.
