PDG HIGHLIGHT
Food Packaging
Professional Development Group
The Mission of the Food Packaging Professional
Development Group is to provide a forum to discuss
issues of interest to the food packaging industry and its
stakeholders. The mission has grown exponentially in recent
years as the food industry has become more interested
in intelligent packaging, active packaging, recycling and
renewable packaging, and in food packaging safety. Also, the
different regulations in this matter around the globe together
with the increased amount of imported food products into
the U.S., create the perfect combination for such interesting
professional engagements in this group.
The Food Packaging PDG has grown steadily since its
inception and currently has more than 150 members. Our
members from all areas of academia, government, and
industry tackle the issues of how best to package food in a
marketing form to be attractive to the consumer but at the
same time to respect the applicable rules, the corporate
responsibilities toward the sustainability and protection of
the environment.
Originally a part of the Food Chemical Hazards and
Food Allergy PDG, the Food Packaging PDG formed a
separate group in 2010. Members realized that the issues
surrounding food packaging merited a separate focus.
Expanding regulatory requirements, increasing toxicological
safety concerns, and exponential growth in the types of
food packaging available converged and expertise in food
packaging regulatory compliance and safety was demanded.
Also of interest is plant-based food packaging materials as an
alternative to traditional packaging and its safety the utmost
importance for the industry.
Packaging materials are recognized for their critical
role in the reduction of food losses and wastes worldwide
by maintaining food quality and safety. Research and
applications are continuously developing and improving
packaging that offers protection from oxygen, light, heat,
and microbial growth, for example via nanomaterials,
antimicrobial coatings, and metal alloy-infused foils.
However, advances in analytical methods and testing
models in toxicology and the concomitant formulations
improvements also come with concerns: concern about
unintended consequences of packaging chemical migration
to food during use and concern about potential effects of
chemicals on the environment upon packaging disposal.
Despite our serious focus, the Food Packaging PDG is a
good-humored and enthusiastic group that welcomes new
members of all levels of knowledge and abilities!
