Legal requirements and responsibilities
The non-food surface of food packaging is mainly printed for product presentation and to provide information to the final consumer like food ingredients and nutrition facts. Get an insight of the worldwide packaging regulations for printing inks and coatings on food packaging.
Safety evaluation for migrants
Only those substances must be used in the manufacture of food packaging which are evaluated and approved on authority level (positive list principle). But there are also non-listed substances (NLS) and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) which need to be evaluated in order to provide a safe product.
Siegwerk’s Claim – to supply the safest inks in the world
Siegwerk is commited to ink safety. All raw materials used by Siegwerk in the formulation of printing inks and coatings must pass a stringently defined process prior to being purchased or used in formulations.
