Food packaging testing

Chemical safety of packaging materials

Our service selection includes the tests required to show that food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics packages meet regulatory chemical purity criteria. These include:

  • Overall migration testing to measure the sum total of substances that may migrate from the material to the product

  • Specific migration testing to measure the transfer of individual high-risk substances

  • NIAS screening of non-intentionally added contaminants, breakdown products, and side products

  • Extractables and leachables (E&L) testing to quantify contaminants that may leach from pharmaceutical packaging

In terms of specific high-profile contaminants, we provide analyses to screen packaging materials for phthalates, PFAS compounds, nitrosamines, and various other restricted chemicals.
