In extraordinary times, comfort food can be particularly welcome. What many people do not realize, however, is that food packaging must meet very strict safety requirements. <\/p>\n\n
When eating a portion of fries, almost no one thinks about the printing on the cardboard container. Yet, very strict food safety requirements apply to this. <\/p>\n\n
By supplying pigments, Profiltra is positioned at the heart of the food chain and thus at the foundation of safe food packaging.<\/p>\n\n
Due to stricter quality requirements and technological developments, the quality of food contact materials is constantly being improved.<\/p>\n\n
Modern measuring equipment can now detect extremely small amounts of contaminants in printing inks for food packaging. Current techniques are even capable of detecting one contaminating particle per billion particles. <\/p>\n\n
Profiltra has been a pigment partner to the international food packaging industry for many years. Specially selected pigments can be used within packaging for fast food and other food applications. <\/p>\n\n
Pigment Yellow 13 is an example of this. This pigment meets very strict food safety requirements, and every produced batch is specifically checked for this. <\/p>\n\n
Food packaging producers set high standards for safety and quality. That is why they choose controlled pigment solutions from Profiltra. <\/p>\n\n
Profiltra’s pigment specialists support customers in selecting suitable pigments for specific applications and requirements.<\/p>\n\n
In doing so, they maintain direct contact with the R&D and production departments of pigment producers. This allows customer requirements and European legislation to be coordinated directly with the manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n
All pigments are extensively tested for safety and technical properties to ensure consistent and controlled quality.<\/p>\n\n
In this way, safe pigment solutions contribute to food packaging that consumers can trust.<\/p>\n\n
