There are two core drivers for food contact testing; achieving food packaging regulatory compliance or assessing contaminant issues including NIAS and taint.
Food contact testing for regulatory compliance

We undertake standard and bespoke migration testing to help our clients demonstrate compliance on a wide range of food contact materials.Non-Intentionally Added Substances (NIAS)
Regulation EU No. 10/2011 states that NIAS (non-intentionally added substances) that may be present in final articles, should be risk assessed using internationally recognised scientific principles. We provide support for companies who need to evaluate if NIAS is present.Investigations
