Laws and regulations on food packaging safety


In order to ensure the safety of food packaging, governments around the world have established corresponding laws and regulations. In our country, the Food Safety Law and its implementation regulations, as well as the National Standards for the Safety of Food Contact Materials and Products, constitute the main legal framework for food packaging safety. These laws and regulations clearly stipulate aspects such as the use of food packaging materials, additives, labeling, and inspection. For example, they require that food packaging materials must not use toxic or harmful chemicals and must not transfer harmful substances to food; food packaging should clearly label material components, production dates, shelf life, and other information to facilitate consumer identification and traceability. At the same time, the government also strengthens the supervision of the food packaging market through regular sampling inspections and risk assessments to ensure the safety of food packaging.
