Global Compliance: Food Contact Safety Certifications for Export Packaging

For brands exporting food products worldwide, packaging is not just a container—it is a regulatory requirement. Ensuring your packaging materials comply with international food safety standards is critical to avoiding customs seizures, product recalls, and brand damage.

Why Food Contact Safety Matters

Flexible packaging materials must undergo rigorous testing to ensure that no harmful substances migrate from the packaging into the food. Whether you are shipping to the EU, the USA, or other markets, compliance is non-negotiable.

Key Certifications You Should Look For

• FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration): The gold standard for the North American market, ensuring materials are safe for direct food contact.
• EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004: The core requirement for all materials intended to come into contact with food in the European Union.
• ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000: Recognized international food safety management systems that ensure consistent hygiene standards throughout production.
• RoHS / REACH: Crucial for ensuring materials are free from hazardous substances like heavy metals or banned chemicals.
