01 — Definition

Food contact approved (FCA) flexible packaging is manufactured from materials that meet regulatory standards for direct or indirect contact with food or sensitive consumer products. For hygiene and medical packaging brands exporting to the EU, US and other regulated markets, food contact compliance is increasingly required as a baseline material credential — even for non-food applications — because it confirms that no harmful substances migrate from the packaging into the product or environment.

02 — Materials / Options

07 — Frequently Asked

Questions buyers ask before quote.

Food contact approval confirms that packaging materials contain no substances that migrate into contact at harmful levels, and meet the positive lists of permitted substances under EU Regulation 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR or equivalent standards. For hygiene brands exporting to regulated markets, food contact compliant materials are increasingly required as a baseline credential — even for products like diapers and wet wipes that are not food items.

Yes. Tansox can provide a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) confirming that materials used meet the requirements of EU Regulation No 10/2011 and relevant FDA standards. Migration test reports are also available for applications requiring additional documentation. Contact our sales team with your specific regulatory requirements.

The core film materials used by Tansox — PE, PP, PET, PA — are sourced from food contact grade resin suppliers as standard. If your application requires written DoC documentation or specific migration testing, please confirm this requirement at the quotation stage.
