Traces of styrene can affect the quality of food products above certain migration levels. It has been shown that usually over half of the residual styrene in the food contact packaging material migrates within 24 hours, which is the normal shelf life of many food products. The metabolites of styrene are mandelic acid, a known mutagen, and styrene oxide, a known carcinogen.

Miscellaneous Uses. Inks used by inspectors to stamp the grade or quaUty on meat must, bylaw, be made from food-grade colors. Dyes used in packaging materials that come in direct contact with a food must also be food-grade or, if not, it must be estabUshed that no part of the colorant used migrates into the food product. Pet foods, too, if colored, must contain only those colorants recognized by the FDA as suitable for the purpose. 

The methods of analysis of polymer additives and chemicals, such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, etc., are not only restricted to the field of polymer chemistry but can also be applied for the analysis of such materials in the field of food chemistry. In addition, the analysis of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils has been of extreme importance. Polymeric packaging materials that are intended for food-contact use may contain certain additives that can migrate into the food products which are actually packaged in such products. The amounts of the additives that are permitted to migrate into food samples are controlled by government agencies in order to show...
