This case study describes an exposure assessment of
two chemicals used in food packaging (Styrene and
ESBO) and how the migration to the food of these
impacts children's consumption levels and overall
safety.
Numerous chemicals are permitted for use in food packaging materials that have the potential to migrate into the food. In recent years there has been a need to complete safety assessments for a number of chemical migrants from food contact materials and exposure assessments have been part of these safety assessments.
In this case study exposure to two food packaging migrants, one of which was a monomer, styrene, and one of which was an additive, epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO), were assessed using the CREMe software.
