Why Food Grade Standards Matter
Food grade packaging touches food directly, so the materials, inks, adhesives and production environment must meet the requirements of the destination market. Buyers should confirm what documentation is needed for their project instead of assuming one standard fits every order.
What Buyers May Ask For
Depending on the market and the product, buyers may ask for food contact declarations, migration test reports, residual solvent reports, ink and adhesive statements, batch COA and third-party test records. The exact list should be confirmed project by project.
