Pa c k a g i n g ma t e r i a l s: 7. m e t a l pa c k a g i n g f o r f o o d s t u f f sGENERAL CONCLUSIONSMetal packaging for foodstuffs includes a very diverse range of products, from cansthrough closures. Most of the metal packaging has an internal food contact coating,which is essential to the performance of the packaging. Failure of the coatingcould result in failure of the packaging and consequential spoilage of the foodstuff. Consequently, a widerange of coatings based upon a limited range of approved chemicals is used. In order to resolve some ofthe issues surrounding migrants from metal packaging that have arisen over the recent years, a workable,European harmonised coating regulation (or code of practice), which utilises exposure, thresholdsof toxicological concern and structural alerts, is urgently needed. In the meantime, compliance with theFramework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 needs to be demonstrated.34
