Snack food packaging

INCINERATION IS BEST DISPOSAL FOR SNACK FOOD PACKAGING... [Pg.107]

Key findings are reported from a study by David Brown of Warwick Research Institute into the environmental aspects of plastics packaging used for snack foods. The four options of reduction, re-use, recycling and recovery are discussed. The original research examines OPP as the most commonly used plastic for snack food packaging. BODY SHOP... [Pg.107]

Polypropylene (PP) is used in a variety of areas, from snack food packaging to battery cases to disposable diaper linings. It is frequently interchanged for polyethylene or polystyrene. [Pg.51]

In the absence of specific legislation for the other (non-plastic) food contact materials used in take-away and snack food packaging then the plastics legislation is used as a guide, although limits are not taken as presumptive standards. Where possible, in the absence of specific migration limits (SMLs), levels found are related back to exposure restrictions such as tolerable daily intake (TDl) or acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Many of the studies carried out to determine the migration from take-away and snack food packaging have been funded by the UK Food Standards Agency and additional information relating to these studies may be found on the FS A website (www.food.gov.uk). Detailed reports describing all the FS A funded work outlined in this chapter are available from the enquiry desk of the FSA library (e-mail library info foodstandards.gsi.gov.uk). [Pg.427]

Blown and cast films utilized in flexible packaging applications such as cereal, cracker and snack food packaging, wraps for delicatessen products, and grocery sacks. [Pg.109]

Packaging applications where oriented films perform best utilize either PVDC coatings, laminations to aluminum foil, polyethylene or ionomer film, and/or metallized structures. Applications include pouch and vacuum brick coffee packages, soft cookies, bag-in the-box packages, and snack-food packages. ... [Pg.41]

Barriers to aromas and flavors are very important in packaging and cannot be predicted from common gas-barrier data. Nylon has a good aroma barrier for certain snack-food packaging (74). Flavor scalping is also important in some... [Pg.1492]

Resins and plastics also can be combined with inorganic substances to make hybrid materials that combine the desirable properties of the dissimilar materials. Examples include safety glass (glass / poly vinylbutyral / glass laminate), carbon fly rods (carbon fiber/epoxy resin composite), snack food packaging... [Pg.625]
