SÜDPACK has expanded its flexographic printing capabilities at its Competence Center in Kłobuck, Poland with the installation of a new high-performance printing system. 

At the highest tested dose, every isolate, even those exhibiting antimicrobial resistance (AMR), underwent at least a 2-log reduction in viable cells. Modeling suggested that such a reduction could decrease public health risk of infection by up to 90 percent. 

On the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, WPO convened UNIDO, FSSC, and Wageningen University and Research to discuss the Sustainable Packaging Assessment Methodology (SusPAM) and explore how packaging decisions can protect food, help prevent avoidable loss, and support broader sustainability goals.

The enhancements include advanced backlight technology, three-way sorting, and a larger-capacity model.

Researchers from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research and the Food Packaging Forum have proposed a panel of 15 high-throughput in vitro bioassays to screen chemicals for biological activity associated with cancer, brain-related harms, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders.

A review led by researchers at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln found that high-pressure processing (HPP) can reduce foodborne pathogens in raw chicken and described pressures and holding times that significantly influenced microbial inactivation.

Sustainable food packaging solutions manufacturer Sabert Holding Corporation is to be acquired by Butterfly Equity. The company operates 13 manufacturing facilities globally. Sabert CEO and Founder will remain a minority investor.

GeNi is intended to serve as a centralized hub for interlaboratory data, enabling participants to benchmark testing performance, identify best practices, improve data comparability, and support greater consistency in testing methods across industry.

Researchers examined four different antimicrobial surface technologies and evaluated their potential suitability for reusable food packaging, addressing the challenges of microbial adhesion, biofilm formation, and cross-contamination between reuse cycles.

World Packaging Day on September 6 is an opportunity to move beyond a simple choice between “more” or “less” packaging. The more useful question is whether each packaging decision supports food safety and sustainability, thereby reducing total waste across the value chain.
