Seminar: legal requirements for food packaging

Start 9 Academy 9 Food packaging

Today’s ideal food packaging should be plastic-free and sustainable. New solutions are in demand. These must meet the same legal requirements as established products. This FSO training course deals with which laws and regulations must be observed and how they regulate the entire life cycle of food packaging.

Know and apply regulations for food packaging

For the consumer, a food product should be hygienically clean, fresh, convenient and distinctively packaged. At the same time, all laws and regulations for food packaging must be observed and complied with. Everyone who develops packaging materials for food, manufactures them, fills food products in them or distributes the finished products is caught up in this tension. A BFSV in-house training can also support you in this!
