Food packaging
The way food is presented and packaged can heavily influence a customer’s decision. But first and foremost, food packaging has to keep a product safe and fresh.
It is, therefore, important which materials are used. Toxic or inappropriate materials shouldn't be used, such as a leaking cardboard box. To ensure this doesn't happen, Standards are needed.
But Standards reach much further than the actual packaging of a product. They include material safety for pots and pans, chopping boards or lunchboxes and many other safety aspects.
