What are some emerging concerns in food packaging toxicology?
With advancements in packaging technologies, new concerns have emerged. The use of nanomaterials in packaging is increasing due to their ability to enhance barrier properties and extend shelf life. However, the potential toxicity of nanoparticles and their ability to migrate into food is not yet fully understood, raising concerns about their widespread use. Additionally, the environmental impact and potential for introducing microplastics into the food chain are also being scrutinized.
