Abstract
The safety of food packaging and other food contact materials is of critical importance. Food contact materials are intended or have the potential to come in contact with food. When these materials come in contact with food, there is the possibility of the chemical substances migrating from the food contact material to the food, which could be potentially harmful to human health. In response to this issue, many countries have implemented food contact regulations to ensure food safety. Companies must ensure their products comply with the applicable food contact regulations to keep their products on the market.
