Plastics must meet strict requirements to be considered food safe and are regulated by high standards than plastics used for other purposes. Let’s take a closer look at food-grade plastic, what makes it safer for food than others and some examples of how food-grade plastic can be used

Food-grade plastic must be produced using safe materials and in a safe environment

For plastic to be use in contact with food or food products, it must:

1. Be protective: to act as a defense against moisture or contamination without breaking down
2. Be durable: to protect food items during manufacturing, packaging, storage , transportation
3. Be chemically safe: to not contaminate foods it comes in contact with. This mean the plastic must have no tendency of ”leeching” or the potential for chemicals to seep into the food, where they could either affect the taste or cause adverse health effects for the consumer
