Is recycled packaging a health hazard? Read the latest research behind the news reports:
Migration of Mineral Oil into Noodles from Recycled Fibres in the Paperboard Box and the Corrugated Board Transport Box as well as from Printing Inks: A Case Study
By Maurus Biedermann, Jan-Erik Ingenhoff, Martino Barbanera, Davide Garbini and Koni Grob
In summary:
If 0.6 mg/kg is introduced as a limit for mineral oil in foods to respect the present toxicological evaluation, (i) massive changes will be necessary to reduce the migration from corrugated board transport boxes; (ii) the reduction of the mineral oil content of recycled board achievable by optimized selection of the recycled paper and board is usually insufficient to reach the limit for primary packing; (iii) printing inks should contain less than 1 g/kg mineral oil.
