The migration of chemical compounds from packaging polymers to food presents a multifaceted challenge with implications for safety and public health. This review explores the interaction between materials products, focusing on permeation, migration, sorption processes. different mechanisms contact gas phase penetration set-off condensation/distillation have been discussed comprehensively. major migrating are plasticizers, nanoparticles, antioxidants, light stabilizers, thermal monomers, oligomers, printing inks, adhesives, posing potential health risks due their association endocrine disruption carcinogenic effects. Advanced analytical methods help in monitoring migrated compounds, facilitating compliance regulatory standards. Regulatory agencies enforce guidelines limit prompting development barrier coatings safer alternatives. Furthermore, there is need decipher mechanism mitigating it along advancements techniques compounds.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is widely used in the food and beverage packaging sector due to its chemical mechanical properties. Although PET a fossil-based polymer, recyclability significantly contributes reducing environmental impacts caused by excessive plastic consumption. However, growing demand for post-consumer recycled (PET-PCR) has raised concerns about efficiency of decontamination processes involved recycling this material. This review initially addresses synthesis processes, highlighting injection stretch blow molding as predominant technique production. It then discusses reverse logistics strategy promote sustainability through recovery packaging, such bottles. examines methods PET-PCR production, safety requirements including positive lists permitted substances, contaminant migration limits, non-intentionally added substances (NIASs), updated criteria National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) food-grade resins. Finally, explores future prospects using sector, assessing potential technological advancements enhance safety.

The world is changing at a pace, driven by global megatrends and their interactions. Megatrends, including climate change, the drive for sustainability, an aging population, urbanization, geopolitical tensions, are producing increasingly challenging environment provision of safe secure food supply. To ensure robust, safe, supply all, potential safety impacts associated with these need to be understood, mitigation management plans must implemented. This paper outlines relevant megatrends, discusses impact on safety, suggests steps help production in future. Megatrends driving resource depletion, reducing vitality plants animals, increasing geographical spread animal plant pathogens, risk mycotoxins, agrichemical residues, antimicrobial-resistant pathogens contaminating foods, threatening destabilize systems regulatory network. Science-based actions, adopting continual dynamic assessments, alongside use more sensitive accurate methods detection contaminants, may counter challenges. artificial intelligence, robotics automation, enhancement cultures, continued education training workforces, implementation risk-based regulations will preventative controls place. As low-income countries smallholder farmers likely exposed less have resources them, social inequality, unrest, population migration exacerbated unless urgent action taken.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known substance that found in food contact materials as an intentionally added well non-intentionally substance. Traces of BPA were recycled PET (rPET). In 2023, the EFSA proposed new TDI 0.0002 µg/kg bw/d, which lower than previous (temporary) 4 bw/d by factor 20,000. The would translate for default 60 kg person eating one kilogram into migration limit 0.012 food. This very low challenge to measuring levels solution use modeling establish maximum concentrations rPET different applications. Precise diffusion coefficients determined within this study kinetics. June 2024, European Commission threshold 1 µg/kg, should be understood detection limit. From results study, it can concluded concentration bottle wall 297 mg/kg (3% acetic acid), 255 (10% ethanol), and 192 (20% ethanol) after storage 365 d at 25 °C compliance with µg/kg. These are far above measured on bottles Europe between 2019 2023. Therefore, cannot exceeded.
