Food Packaging (FCM) Services

Food contact materials (FCM) are any materials that come into direct contact with food, such as packaging, containers and equipment. They must meet strict safety requirements to prevent harmful substances from transferring into food. Compliance with food contact requirements is often managed through dedicated Food Packaging Compliance solutions.

Packaging compliance software solutions help companies manage regulatory requirements, track materials and ensure compliance across markets. FoodChain ID tools support data management, risk assessment and transparency for food packaging compliance. Organizations with complex regulatory requirements may also benefit from regulatory and scientific affairs consulting.

Food contact materials testing evaluates packaging to ensure it meets safety and regulatory standards. It typically includes migration testing and analysis of substances to confirm compliance with food packaging safety requirements. Technical assessments may be supported through Packaging Migration Modelling.

Companies can ensure FCM compliance by managing material data, conducting testing and following regulatory requirements. Digital tools and expert support from FoodChain ID help simplify compliance and maintain transparency across supply chains. This is particularly important for products entering European markets, where food contact regulations are highly detailed.

Food packaging compliance ensures that materials and packaging used with food meet safety and regulatory requirements. It is important because it helps prevent contamination, protect consumers and ensure products meet global market and legal standards. Organizations often combine compliance management with ongoing sustainability verification initiatives to address evolving environmental and packaging expectations.
