FDA Introduces Standards for Non-Toxic Liquid Coatings in Food Packaging

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced new standards for non-toxic liquid coatings used in food packaging. The standards require that coatings applied to food contact surfaces be free from harmful chemicals, such as certain heavy metals and VOCs, that could leach into food products. Packaging manufacturers must now conduct extensive testing to ensure compliance. This regulation aims to safeguard consumers from exposure to toxic substances, reflecting increased scrutiny on materials used in food packaging. The FDA expects that these standards will lead to safer food storage solutions across the industry.
