Food & Dietary Supplements
Product Container/Enclosure (Food Packaging) |
 |
The potential for migration of indirect additives and contaminants from food contact material is a concern for both food products and dietary supplements. Covance was one of the first laboratories to validate comprehensive studies for the evaluation of potential translocation of detrimental compounds. As the design and use of innovative packaging methods change, there is a corresponding effect on the regulatory and experimental guidelines for determining the impact of packaging components on the safety of food and dietary products. In the case of dietary supplements and botanicals migration could potentially have a negative effect on the efficacy of the active ingredient. When evaluating the safety of packaging materials there are three key aspects to be considered: the source of the materials, the nature of the manufacturing process, and the conditions of use. Using this information, Covance scientists can design a testing regimen to meet US and EU requirements by selecting the appropriate simulating solvents, extraction process and quantitation tools.
