On Monday BRCGS will release the Global Standards Packaging Materials Issue 7. To celebrate, we wanted to take an opportunity to look at a version of packaging that the typical consumer might not give much attention to. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is when the internal atmosphere of a package is adjusted to improve its shelf life by altering the atmosphere itself within the package to extend shelf life and improve food safety. Its origins date back to 1821, but commercial use increased significantly in the 1970’s when it made its debut into stores. Initially used for meats and fish its use has quickly ‘expanded’ and the combination of nitrogen, carbon dioxide or oxygen are now common place across a wide variety of products. This innovative technique slows down spoilage, ensuring that products maintain their quality for longer periods. As we strive for sustainability in the food industry, MAP not only helps reduce food waste but also supports businesses by allowing for longer distribution times and less frequent restocking. #FreshProduce #FoodPreservation #ModifiedAtmospherePackaging #FoodSafety #BRCGSPackaging

Zearalenone: A Food Safety Hazard Zearalenone, a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium mold, poses risks to animal health due to its estrogenic properties. It thrives in low-temperature, high-humidity conditions but can also occur under other environmental circumstances. 🥣 Sources & Occurrence: Found in processed and ready-to-eat foods, zearalenone lurks in cereals (wheat, maize, oats, rice, barley), vegetable oils, and even Indian bananas. 🚑 Health Effects: While low levels may not show visible symptoms, high or prolonged exposure can lead to reproductive and estrogenic effects. What are the control measures a business can implement? Download our Chemical Hazard datasheet to learn more: https://ow.ly/QEuk50Tp2Je #FoodSafetyHazard #FoodContamination #FoodSafetyAwareness
