Abstract
Adhesives used in the production of food packaging and toys: legal aspects and safety Migration of hazardous substances from the packaging and materials in contact with the food and direct contact with the children is an important issue nowadays. It is well know that chemical compounds such as adhesives from packaging and toys can migrate, but question how much migration occurs and what potential health effects it may cause is gaining more attention from researchers. We know that migrating substances can be harmful to health, moreover in case of food they can also change its sensory characteristics. Packaged food is very convenient, but unfortunately since most foods are packaged an increasing number of people are likely to be exposed. Second very important topic in the context of safety are toys for children. Toys contribute to the development of a child however they must be safe for children and ensuring that they do not put children at any risk is a priority. The EU legislation is designed to ensure that toys comply with safety requirements, which are among the strictest in the world, especially in relation to the presence of chemicals. Currently, work is underway in Research & Development Centre for the Graphic Arts aimed at developing adhesive formulations safe for food use and production of toys that meet standards and regulations in this regard.
