I am fresh from speaking on how to address microplastics and chemicals that may migrate from packaging into food and other topics at an energizing conference in our nation’s capital.
Some highlights on the risks:
We take some and not others
Increasingly, the risk of not knowing if your packaging is free of microplastics and chemicals of concern is high
I recommend taking a step back and assessing the risk of your packaging (and your product) of containing microplastics and chemicals of concern
We recently completed a risk assessment for microplastics and chemicals of concern for three brands in Vermont, which covered both ingredient and consumer-facing packaging. This allowed brands to pinpoint package components that were most likely to contain microplastics and chemicals of concern.
Then we applied solutions to mitigate this risk. We are working hard in packaging to make sure food is safe. Please reach out to learn more.
