Food Packaging Laboratory is testing food packaging materials in terms of food contact according to national and EU regulations. The Laboratory is accredited by RENAR. The laboratory also perform analysis of heavy metals content in food packaging materials and food products, heavy metals migration from food packaging materials into food simulants and minerals content in food products.
