Ensuring safe and compliant adhesives for food contact packaging

Everybody in the value chain for food contact packaging has a role to play in making sure consumers can enjoy safe and compliant products. But it’s not always clear which tasks need to be completed at the various steps in the supply chain - or how the results are made available.

This white paper summarizes how Henkel meets its responsibilities and how we pass documentation to our partners in this industry. Find out which tests are guaranteed. And get clarity about exactly when each organization takes over responsibility for product safety.

From declarations of compliance through to risk assessments, Specific Migration Limit (SML) tables, worst-case calculations and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS): We’re sharing the information you need for a trust-based, safe and successful partnership with Henkel.
