Food Grade Packaging – FAQ
Food grade packaging is packaging specifically designed and manufactured to be safe for direct contact with food. It prevents contamination, preserves freshness, and complies with food safety regulations.
Common food grade materials include:
- Paper & cardboard (often with greaseproof or PE lining)
- Plastics such as PET, PP, and LDPE
- Foil & aluminium
- Biodegradable/compostable materials like PLA and bagasse
Food grade packaging will carry certifications or compliance marks (e.g., EU, FDA, or UK standards) and be clearly labelled as suitable for food use.
It ensures that no harmful chemicals or contaminants leach into food, maintains hygiene standards, and helps extend the shelf life of food products.
Many food grade options are available in recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable materials. Businesses can choose sustainable packaging without compromising on safety.
- Hot & greasy foods: Greaseproof or foil-lined packaging
- Fresh produce: Breathable plastic or paper bags
- Frozen goods: Freezer-safe plastics or laminated paper
- Liquids & sauces: Leakproof containers and pouches
