In depth knowledge on paper material in contact with food. Focus on Greek, French and Italia legislation regarding paper materials.

In this workshop, paper in contact with food will be discussed (both paper and multilayer materials, containing paper). As no harmonized legislation exists for paper materials in the European Union, users of paper need to comply with several national legislations, according to the sale market of the material. Greek, French and Italian legislations require specific rules for paper compliance, such as metals migration, sensory testing and color transfer. In this workshop, we will study in detail the aforementioned regulations, discuss specific details, and tips and tricks to comply with them. Similarities and differences compared to German BfR will also be studied.
