Guidance for Industry: Use of Recycled Plastics in Food Packaging
This document outlines the chemistry considerations that the FDA recommends manufacturers of recycled plastic consider during their evaluation of a recycling process for producing material suitable for food-contact applications. It explains that chemical contaminants, microbial contamination, and structural integrity are major considerations for the safe use of recycled plastics in food-contact applications. Although this document provides guidance on the topic, it does not establish legally enforceable responsibilities and the use of the word "should" indicates that something is suggested or recommended, but not required.
