5 Steps to Predict Packaging Compliance Early
Step 1
Convert compliance data into modeling requests
Sync Packaging Compliance data with modeling and feed results back into product records.
Step 2
Create or reuse modeling requests with a simple UI
Enables non-experts to easily create accurate migration models with guided inputs.
Step 3
Visualize migration behavior over time
Compare results with regulatory limits to identify potential non-compliance early.
Step 4
Adjust materials or design parameters
See full migration behavior over time to better predict risks and ensure compliance decisions.
Step 5
Access full traceability data
Ensure audit-ready traceability with complete data visibility across all compliance records.

FAQ
If worst-case migration calculation (which assume that 100% of a specific substance migrates to the food upon contact) yield a result that is above the substance’s specific migration limit (SML), then you can resort to more sophisticated migration modelling. It may save you costly and time-consuming migration testing. Migration Modeling is particularly useful for companies evaluating food-contact materials as part of broader food packaging compliance programs.
Yes, many regulatory authorities (FDA in the US, competent authorities in the EU) do accept Migration Modeling, provided that the used migration models are scientifically sound and appropriate input data for materials and substances are used. The Migration Modeling offered by FoodChain ID is based on such scientifically proven models and can support compliance evaluations for products intended for markets such as the United States and Europe.
Although modeling can be used for many substances and materials, certain classes of substances and materials are excluded as the current models cannot ensure correct migration results for them. Please contact FoodChain ID for more details on your specific applications. Organizations with complex regulatory questions may also benefit from regulatory and scientific affairs consulting.
Migration Modeling is an add-on tool to Packaging Compliance, and migration results obtained with Migration Modeling can be used directly in Packaging Compliance to demonstrate compliance with SMLs. It can also be used as a standalone tool. Learn more about FoodChain ID’s Packaging Compliance software and how it supports food contact material compliance assessments.
