Sensory Evaluation of FCMs
For the conformity of materials and objects intended to come into contact with foodstuffs, Regulation N° 1935/2004/EC requires that these materials are inert also from a sensory point of view so that they do not alter the organoleptic characteristics of the food with which they are placed in contact.
Depending on the type of material, specific procedures are followed:
- UNI EN 1230-1 / 1230-2: paper and cardboard, including coated and / or printed material.
- UNI 10192: packaging materials and finished packaging in general, including composite materials that use paper and cardboard coupled with other materials (plastic films and aluminum foil).
- ISO 13302: packaging materials, finished packaging and objects intended to come into contact with food.
- DIN 10955: finished packaging, packaging materials and objects intended to come into contact with food.
- UNI EN 1622: materials intended to come into contact with drinking water.
