FEICA Food Contact Seminar - 28 September 2017
To ensure the safety of packaging used for food applications, it is important that stakeholders in the supply chain work together. In this context, FEICA is delighted to invite adhesives manufacturers and other actors in the supply chain to a seminar on migration testing of adhesives and especially testing the migration of mineral oil hydrocarbons.
We will provide you with insights into:
- Sample preparation, testing and interpreting the results
- Common errors and pitfalls
- The possible limits of analytical methods
The seminar is open to all actors in the supply chain and will be of particular interest to all persons that have to carry out migration testing or discuss the results of such tests.
