Dear ipw reader,
the debate about the migration of packaging ingredients into food is being whipped up again: Independent research conducted with 8,000 consumers just revealed that the role of packaging in food safety is among a list of key concerns. Two thirds (66%) of consumers admit that they are worried about food contamination, as well as the risk of chemicals leaching from the food packaging into the contents. The survey has been commissioned by FEVE, as part of the Friends of Glass campaign, and – surprise, surprise - glas is subliminally praised as the safest packaging for health. However: It is good that the paper industry is working hard to present its own solutions to this problem – and should make sure that these are promoted correspondingly as well… We will, as always, keep you informed in any event! PS: I am already looking forward to seeing you at PulPaper in Helsinki! Please let me know if there is anything you consider newsworthy. With best regards,  |
