How is the safety of food packaging materials evaluated?

The safety of food packaging materials is rigorously evaluated through risk assessments and regulatory frameworks. Agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) set guidelines and standards for allowable levels of chemical migration. These assessments involve testing for chemical migration under various conditions and evaluating the potential health impacts through toxicological studies.
