The close relationship between food packaging and food is well known. Food packaging is like a "protective clothing" for food, which not only has the function of carrying and protecting food but also facilitates food storage, transportation, and promotes sales. At the same time, as people's living standards continue to improve, food safety issues have gradually become the focus of public attention, which has raised higher requirements for the safety of food packaging, making food packaging companies prioritize safety in the design, functionality realization, and safety testing of food packaging.
Food packaging design should have innovative design concepts and be reasonably designed according to consumer positioning. At the same time, for some special consumer groups, such as children, attention should also be paid to the safety design of food packaging, such as using environmentally friendly packaging materials, keeping the packaging structure as simple as possible, and ensuring it meets the needs and physical characteristics of children to prevent accidental harm.
In addition to innovative and safe design, the realization of food packaging functions is also very important, especially with the increasing demand for fresh food in the consumer market, food packaging with preservation functions has gradually become popular. Particularly for the currently high-demand fresh fruits and vegetables, the successive introduction of technologies such as modified atmosphere packaging, film coating packaging, and antibacterial packaging has provided more guarantees for the safe preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables.
To further ensure the safety of food packaging, relevant personnel have also done a lot of work in food packaging safety testing. For example, to eliminate consumer panic, some researchers have assessed the potential risks of DEHP in food plastic packaging materials, further enhancing consumers' awareness of the safety of DEHP.
Currently, the country also attaches great importance to food packaging safety, successively introducing a series of policies and regulations related to food packaging safety. Food packaging companies should strengthen their awareness of food packaging safety and establish the view that "food packaging is equivalent to food" to add an extra lock for food safety.
