A new study provides a roadmap for consumers, food
manufacturers and government through potential US regulatory issues for
nanotechnology-enabled food packaging, claims the report's author.
Michael Taylor, of the George Washington University School
of Public Health and Health Service, said that his report, Assuring the Safety
of Nanomaterials in Food Packaging: The Regulatory Process and Key Issues
synthesizes eight months of meetings between government, industry and public
interest agencies.
Taylor told
FoodProductionDaily.com that the trigger for the study was the fact that the
food packaging industry, food companies and consumers all share an interest in
ensuring that any safety questions are identified, carefully evaluated and
resolved before packaging using nanomaterials is brought onto the market.
