Disclaimers
- Food products and packaging are a highly regulated sector, with varying requirements depending on where they are placed on the market. In relation to inks, compliance depends primarily on the potential for ink substances to migrate through the specific packaging materials into food as well as the intended use case for the packaging. Converters must perform their own assessment to ensure compliance of the final packaging they produce and ensure that the printing is performed in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices. HP Indigo ElectroInk can be used to produce food packaging that complies with: FDA, Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations for indirect food contact; Swiss Ordinance on Materials and Articles in Contact with Food, RS 817.023.21; European Printing Inks Association (EuPIA) Guidelines on Printing Inks applied to Food Contact Materials, version April 2020; Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2005/2) for indirect food contact; Nestlé Guidance Note on Packaging Inks, exclusion lists for indirect food contact; German Food Law and Article 3 of the EU framework regulation 1935/2004, for non-food contact.
