EcoBio Barrier Paper is a recyclable, repulpable, and biodegradable option for moisture-proof and greaseproof packaging. It is made without intentionally added plastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or fluorochemicals.

The latest generation of Eagle Product Inspection’s Tall PRO XSDV detection accuracy for contaminants in food products such as glass, metal, stone, or rubber—especially in complex or multi-layered packaging formats.

A new study has demonstrated that antimicrobial peptides derived from Lactobacillus rhamnosus can effectively reduce Salmonella in chickens under industry-relevant conditions. Adoption of the novel intervention could potentially help mitigate the growing public health threat that is antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Food and beverage industry customers will benefit from a fully integrated, one-stop solution that combines high-pressure processing (HPP) tolling, co-manufacturing, packaging, labeling, cold storage, and logistics support

The collection includes food boxes, bakery packaging, and takeout boxes made from FDA-approved, non-toxic, and grease-resistant materials.

Although elevated levels of some PFAS were found in the blood of people who ate more highly processed foods, people who ate minimally process foods showed elevated levels of other PFAS compounds—suggesting that dietary choices cannot protect people from “forever chemicals,” and that systemic solutions are needed.

This article explores how the integration of Lean Six Sigma and benchmarking methodologies offers a robust framework for optimizing process manufacturing.

A review published by EFSA concludes that, while there is clear evidence of microplastic release from food contact materials (FCMs), the actual quantities are likely lower than many studies suggest, and current evidence does not support reliable exposure estimates. Nanoplastics data remain insufficient.

This episode of Food Safety Five discusses a UK proposed ban on Bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials, as well as two studies with global relevance: a successful clinical trial for a novel Salmonella vaccine and research demonstrating how nanoplastics enter the edible parts of crops.

Due to the small, tender quality of berries, individual quick freezing (IQF) and isochoric freezing are ideal options that have been explored to improve preservation. Progress in isochoric freezing technology can revolutionize the methods that are used to handle and store berries.
