1630Approaches for printing ink compliancesPackaging plays an important role to ensure the safe transport of food from production via points-of-sale to the consumer. Packaging printing is instrumental to convey necessary product and marketing information to the consumer. Following (inter-) national legal demands, specifi c guidelines of food manufacturers and consumers’ expectations, the chemistry of printing inks and coatings has entirely changed in the past 10 years. Dr. Bernhard Fritz explains how latest generation printing inks can contribute to product safety. He appeals to intensify communication among all stakeholders to develop a common understanding and to avoid brand damage.Bernard Fritz, Product Manager, Sun Chemical

1700Food contact substances and chemicals ofconcern • 175 chemicals with known hazardous

properties are compliant and therefore legally used in the production of food contact materials in EU and US

• List of chemicals was identifi ed by comparing inventories of food contact substances with expert-compiled lists of hazardous chemicals

• Known or suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals and other substances that fulfi ll the REACH criteria for substances of very high concern are listed
