In today's world, food testing detail, meticulous adherence to legal norms, and ecological preservation are of utmost importance. Therefore, the use of high-tech testing methods for food labels and packages is increasingly growing in significance. Outdated packaging materials come with their own set of challenges, as they have the risk of migration, label falsification, and pollution. Our company provides extremely precise testing services to solve these problems and assist products achieve a global holistic view, while reducing the environmental impact.

Service Overview
Our food label and packaging testing services evaluate the safety, accuracy, and sustainability of materials used in food containment and labeling. By analyzing chemical composition, biodegradability, and label authenticity, we provide actionable insights to manufacturers, retailers, and regulatory bodies. Our protocols align with international frameworks, ensuring compliance across markets.
Technical Principles
Analytical chemistry, materials science and environmental toxicology serve as the foundations for these methods. The technique also facilitates:
- Chromatography (GC-MS, HPLC): Determines the presence of volatile organic compounds and other additives.
- Spectroscopy (FTIR, XRF): Determines the elemental composition and efficiency of the polymer as well as integrity of the polymer.
- Migration Studies: Quantifies the amount of substance migrated from the package to food by simulating real-life conditions.
- Biodegradability Assessments: Determines the rate of decomposition in controlled aerobic/anaerobic conditions.
Technical Features
- High Sensitivity: Detection limits as low as 0.01 ppm for contaminants.
- Multiparametric Analysis: Simultaneous evaluation of chemical, physical, and biological properties.
- Accelerated Aging Tests: Predicts material behavior over extended storage periods.
- Eco-Profiling: Lifecycle assessments (LCAs) to gauge carbon footprints.
Applications
- Processed Foods: Ready-to-eat meals, canned goods.
- Beverages: Bottled water, alcoholic drinks.
- Dairy & Bakery: Flexible films, wax-coated containers.
- E-commerce: Insulated shipping materials.
Environmental Benefits
- Waste Reduction: Validating compostable/biodegradable materials diverts landfill waste.
- Resource Efficiency: Promoting mono-material designs enhances recyclability.
- Toxin Mitigation: Limiting chemical leaching protects aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
