| Résumé : |
Packaging for foods and beverages rabges from the technically sophisticated multilayer plastics, to the more traditional materials of paper and cartonboard, glass and metal cans.
Many metal food and beverage cans - both aluminium and steel - have internal lacquer coatings to provide protective barriers between the metal surfaces and the food or beverage. These barrier coatings ensure the quality of the food or beverage is maintained and they also prevent unacceptable metal contamination. The lacquer coatings are based on polymeric compositions and sometimes contain inorganic fillers. There is a need, however, to ensure that any transfer, or migration, of substances from the protective lacquers themselves do not make the food or beverage unsafe. As the safety of foods and beverages is of high importance, the requirements to control the migration of substances from can lacquers are contained within national laws. At the present time different specific 'regulations' exist in each of the European Union (EU) Member States. This situation will change within the next few years as the European Commission progresses with the harmonization of the laws and regulations of the European Union Members States on 'food contact materials and articles'. |
