Food packaging; safety first

Author:


The close relationship between food packaging and food is well-known. Food packaging is like the "protective clothing" of food, not only carrying and protecting food, but also facilitating food storage, transportation, and sales. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, food safety issues have gradually become the focus of people's attention, which has also put forward higher requirements for the safety of food packaging, making food packaging companies always put safety first when designing, implementing functions, and conducting safety tests of food packaging. Food packaging design should have innovative design concepts and be reasonably designed according to the positioning of consumers. At the same time, for some special consumer groups, such as children, attention should also be paid to the safety design of food packaging, such as selecting environmentally friendly packaging materials, the packaging structure should be as simple as possible, and it should meet the needs and physical characteristics of children to prevent accidental injuries to children. In addition to innovative and safe design, the realization of food packaging functions is also very important. Especially with the increasing consumer market demand for fresh food, food packaging with preservation functions is gradually becoming popular. Especially for the currently high-demand fresh fruits and vegetables, the successive introduction of modified atmosphere packaging, coating packaging, and antibacterial packaging technologies has provided more guarantees for the safe preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables. In order to further ensure the safety of food packaging, relevant personnel have also done a lot of work in food packaging safety testing. For example, in order to eliminate consumer panic, some researchers have evaluated the potential risks of DEHP in food plastic packaging materials, further improving consumers' understanding of the safety of DEHP. Currently, the state also attaches great importance to food packaging safety and has successively introduced a series of policies and regulations related to food packaging safety. Food packaging enterprises should strengthen their awareness of food packaging safety and establish the concept of "food packaging is equivalent to food" to add an extra lock to food safety.
