Phthalates in Food Contact Materials: Problem, Compliance, and Analytical Services

Phthalates, used as plasticizers in food contact materials, can migrate into food and pose health risks like endocrine disruption. Regulations such as EC No 1935/2004, EC No 10/2011, and REACH mandate strict controls to limit this exposure.

Triskelion offers advanced phthalate detection and migration testing services, ensuring compliance with these regulations. Our laboratory uses cutting-edge techniques (GC-MS and LC-MS) to identify even trace levels of phthalates, backed by comprehensive documentation for regulatory adherence. We also provide consulting to help manufacturers transition to safer materials.
