Abstract

Food contact materials should not release their constituent substances into food at levels harmful to human health nor change the food composition, taste, or odor unacceptably. The historical evolution of food packaging shows that the use of plastics has increased dramatically, because of its convenience, lightweight, and cost effectiveness, but carries a significant environmental impact. Influenced by trends such as growing awareness of the environmental footprint and stricter safety requirements, conventional packaging is now progressively evolving toward new alternatives. All stakeholders in the agrifood system are involved in the journey to transform food packaging to more sustainable alternatives, while maintaining the important functionalities of suitable food packaging. The current most promising food packaging alternatives are presented in this review with their benefits, limitations, and associated potential safety hazards, with a focus on chemical hazards. Although some potential hazards are common to conventional packaging, others are specific to the new alternatives. Identification of potential chemical hazards associated with these new packaging alternatives is important to anticipate any risks posed to consumer safety. With much diversity in packaging types and rules aimed at ensuring safety drastically varying between jurisdictions, it is not always easy to determine the best way to assess the safety of food packaging. International guidance on principles for safe food packaging could help drive global harmonization and would play a crucial role in ensuring a consistent and science-based framework for the safety and compliance of new and emerging food packaging.

新近出现的食品包装替代品:化学安全风险、现行法规和分析挑战
食品接触材料不应将其成分物质释放到对人体健康有害的食品中,也不应使食品的成分、味道或气味发生不可接受的变化。食品包装的历史演变表明,塑料因其方便、轻巧和成本效益高而得到了越来越多的使用,但同时也对环境造成了巨大的影响。受环境足迹意识增强和更严格的安全要求等趋势的影响,传统包装正逐步向新的替代品发展。农业食品系统中的所有利益相关者都参与了将食品包装转变为更具可持续性的替代品的过程,同时保持合适食品包装的重要功能。本综述介绍了目前最有前途的食品包装替代品,以及它们的优点、局限性和相关的潜在安全危害,重点是化学危害。虽然有些潜在危害是传统包装所共有的,但有些则是新替代品所特有的。识别与这些新包装替代品相关的潜在化学危害对于预测对消费者安全构成的任何风险都非常重要。由于包装类型多种多样,不同辖区旨在确保安全的规定也大相径庭,因此要确定评估食品包装安全性的最佳方法并非易事。关于安全食品包装原则的国际指南有助于推动全球统一,并将在确保为新出现的食品包装的安全性和合规性制定一致且以科学为基础的框架方面发挥关键作用。

期刊介绍: Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety (CRFSFS) is an online peer-reviewed journal established in 2002. It aims to provide scientists with unique and comprehensive reviews covering various aspects of food science and technology. CRFSFS publishes in-depth reviews addressing the chemical, microbiological, physical, sensory, and nutritional properties of foods, as well as food processing, engineering, analytical methods, and packaging. Manuscripts should contribute new insights and recommendations to the scientific knowledge on the topic. The journal prioritizes recent developments and encourages critical assessment of experimental design and interpretation of results. Topics related to food safety, such as preventive controls, ingredient contaminants, storage, food authenticity, and adulteration, are considered. Reviews on food hazards must demonstrate validity and reliability in real food systems, not just in model systems. Additionally, reviews on nutritional properties should provide a realistic perspective on how foods influence health, considering processing and storage effects on bioactivity. The journal also accepts reviews on consumer behavior, risk assessment, food regulations, and post-harvest physiology. Authors are encouraged to consult the Editor in Chief before submission to ensure topic suitability. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on analytical and sensory methods, quality control, and food safety approaches are welcomed, with authors advised to follow IFIS Good review practice guidelines.
