Guidance in selecting analytical techniques for identification and quantification of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials (FCMS)
different results and it can be difficult to make meaningful comparisons. The initial approach was to attempt to prepare a prescriptive methodology but as this proved impossible; this paper develops ...
Modeling the migration of chemicals from food contact materials to food: The MERLIN-expo/VERMEER toolbox
QPPR predictions, it was shown that the third quartile (75th percentile) derived from probabilistic calculations can be used as a conservative value in the prediction of chemical concentration in food, ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
oil food contamination problem in Belgium, an extensive market survey was conducted including a wide variety of matrices. As saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) have ...
Prioritizing substances of genotoxic concern for in-depth safety evaluation using non-animal approaches: The example of food contact materials.
of these are furthermore listed as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), in addition to demonstrating physicochemical properties linked to a high migration ...
Assessment of estrogenic compounds in paperboard for dry food packaging with the ERE-CALUX bioassay
Chemosphere, Volume 221, Number 106 (2019) Keywords: ERE-CALUX Estrogens FCM Food packaging; Paperboard Phthalates Abstract: Paperboard used as packaging, a non-inert material, can transfer chemicals into food. ...
A novel genotoxin-specific qPCR array based on the metabolically competent human HepaRG™ cell line as a rapid and reliable tool for improved in vitro hazard assessment
for pharmaceutical, chemical, and consumer products, as afflicted compounds have to be (prematurely) abandoned or further tested on animals. Using the metabolically competent human HepaRG ™ cell line and toxicogenomics ...
Coatings in food contact materials: Potential source of genotoxic contaminants?
context and from the European CH emicals Agency (ECHA) website. In total, 53 substances were identified as genotoxic in both in silico models, of which ten were considered to be of high concern. For most of ...
(Q)SAR tools for priority setting: A case study with printed paper and board food contact material substances.
methods such as in silico (i.e. computational) techniques gain more and more importance. In the current study, a new prioritization strategy for identifying potentially mutagenic substances was developed ...
Printed paper and board food contact materials as a potential source of food contamination.
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Melissa Van Bossuyt; Els Van Hoeck; Vanhaecke, Tamara; Rogiers, Vera; Mertens, Birgit Source: Regul Toxicol Pharmacol, Volume 81, Number 19, p.10-19 (2016) Keywords: Checklist Consumer Product Sa ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
food contact materials Migration risks Abstract: Bisphenol-A (BPA) has been used for many years as a monomer for polycarbonate (PC) polymers (water and infant feeding bottles) and epoxy resins (canned ...
