Food-contact packaging should be suitable for the product and use. FSSAI’s guidance addresses safe and suitable food packaging materials. Packaging selection still needs review for the particular commodity, handling conditions and destination.
Ask for a pack specification
Request the material structure, food-contact layer, closure, net weight and outer packing. Discuss transport protection, labels and palletisation. If retail or private-label packs are needed, check feasibility and minimum print or packing quantities with the supplier.
Record approval
Have your responsible technical team review the proposed pack and any relevant supporting documents. Record the approved version and how changes will be communicated. Do not assume that a generic bag description establishes suitability for every food or market.
