Sažetak
The suitability of recycled paper packaging materials for direct food contact applications was a major area of investigation. The evaluation of food contact suitability was conducted on selected classes of recycled paper and board that were produced either industrially or in laboratory conditions. Food contact suitability analyses comprised the determination of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg), primary aromatic amines, diisopropylnaphthalenes (DIPNs), phthalates and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from aqueous or organic solvent extracts of paper samples. The results of analyses conducted were compared to the quantitative restrictions laid down in the German BfR Recommendations (chapter XXXVI) and/or Croatian Ordinance on sanitary safety of materials and articles intended to come into direct contact with foodstuffs. However, in case when the German or Croatian regulations did not specify clear limits for tested compounds, the results obtained by chemical analyses were compared to proposed restrictions laid down in the Nordic report on paper and board food contact materials, a guideline document developed by the Nordic Council of Ministers. Food contact analyses that were conducted on selected classes of recycled paper and board showed that the most common contaminants present in the packaging paper grades are diisopropylnaphthalenes and phthalates.
