Food Contact Material Testing

Sensory and Migration Testing for Packaging and Products

Manufacturers, importers, and traders must ensure that food contact materials (FCM) such as plastic storage containers, household appliances, or films do not release harmful substances into the food or affect its taste and odor. DEKRA supports you with tests and analyses for initial sampling, incoming goods inspections, quality assurance, and as data for your compliance declaration.

Strict regulations of the food law

Food safety in Germany is governed by the Food and Feed Code (LFGB), which, like the Food Contact Materials Regulation (BedGgstV), places high demands on the marketability and health safety of household items in contact with food.
