Hello all: I'm starting in a new role for quality for a blown molding of PET bottles for food contact (we use the bottles for pills and capsules which we are qualified as only food contact), I have so many question since all of this process is brand new to me, first of all, I'm trying to create a form for vendor approval, pretty standard nothing out of the ordinary but now I'm confronted with the migration testing topic, and here is where the questions starts:
I see a lot about this migration testing but it seems more like is applied to certain liquid contents (alcohol, olive oil, acetone, etc), does this type of testing applies for our type of product and its intended use? (Pills and capsules)
Should be requested as part of our vendor approval questionnaire? we are currently receiving COC and letters of guarantee and as part of it a declaration that is food grade and approved by FDA and audited by ISO, none of our clients had asked for migration testing so far.
Please let me know your thoughts on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
