Abstract
Several food safety hazards are related to food packaging. These hazards may be microbiological (presence of pathogenic microorganisms due to contamination by vermin or inadequate handling or dirty facility of the supplier), chemical (presence of allergens or packaging materials not of food quality and not suitable for the intended use leading to chemical migration from packaging into food) or physical (presence of hazardous metal and/or non-metallic foreign material (glass, wood…). What do we request from our suppliers in order to control these hazards? To answer to this question, different case studies will be addressed in this presentation.
