Download or read book Chemical Migration and Food Contact Materials written by K Barnes and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and beverages can be very aggressive chemical milieu and may interact strongly with materials that they touch. Whenever food is placed in contact with another substance, there is a risk that chemicals from the contact material may migrate into the food. These chemicals may be harmful if ingested in large quantities, or impart a taint or odour to the food, negatively affecting food quality. Food packaging is the most obvious example of a food contact material. As the demand for pre-packaged foods increases, so might the potential risk to consumers from the release of chemicals into the food product. Chemical migration and food contact materials reviews the latest controls and research in this field and how they can be used to ensure that food is safe to eat.Part one discusses the regulation and quality control of chemical migration into food. Part two reviews the latest developments in areas such as exposure estimation and analysis of food contact materials. The final part contains specific chapters on major food contact materials and packaging types, such as recycled plastics, metals, paper and board, multi-layer packaging and intelligent packaging.With its distinguished editors and international team of authors, Chemical migration and food contact materials is an essential reference for scientists and professionals in food packaging manufacture and food processing, as well as all those concerned with assessing the safety of food. - Reviews worldwide regulation of food contact materials - Includes the latest developments in the analysis of food contact materials - Looks in detail at different food contact materials
Download or read book Food Safety Management written by Carlos de la Cruz Garcia and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of foreign bodies, formerly food contact materials (FCM) were generally not considered a source of food safety concern. During the past decade several issues regarding FCM affected the food supply and caught the attention of industries, national bodies and of course consumers. But is it clear what an FCM is? The chapter presents different classifications of FCM depending on the type of contact, type of material and function. The potential hazards (physical, microbiological, chemical and allergen) associated with FCM and their risk factors are explained according to the type of material (e.g. wood, metal, plastic). The chapter also reviews the main standards used in the field (ISO 22000, BRCIoP and EN 15593) and gives an overview of the main regulations applicable. The chapter finishes with five case studies that bring the reader to reality in the management of FCM food safety.
