Dear members of the forum:
I work on a risk analysis (FSSC 22000) for bottling a fatty food. Would you be able to guide me on some guidance about the significance of the PAAs derived from the dyes used in plastic covers?
We have different opinion with some auditors respect to significance of PAAs in hazard identification. Is they a Hazard if the dye is used in "Masterbach" and no directly in plastic cover?
Tank you.
Best regards.
CGS

Hello CGS ,
For me I would first look for the migration test results , this will provide a clear image , and will support the risk assessment , try to make the migration test looks identical to the usage method , same material and same temperature i.e. if using hot item e.f at 60 C the test should be close to this temperature with the same item,
there is a useful links , whoever it is little bit generic

Hi CGS,
You should be aware that the masterbatch is the 'ingredient' of the plastic that contains the dye/pigment. So if the dye is in the masterbatch then it is also in the plastic cover and it is in direct contact with the food.
As Ehab says, migration testing is a great place to start. There are migration limits for food contact materials set by US FDA and by EC. These limits are used as a means to define "food-safe" plastics even in parts of the world where those rules/limits don't apply under legislation.
