Article Synopsis
- Food contact paperboard, especially recycled ones, might contaminate food with chemicals, both added and unintentional.
- A study analyzed paperboard samples at different stages of recycling, finding that most harmful chemicals were reduced post-recycling, though some trace elements like chlorine remained.
- The study also noted that while the original paperboard had chemicals causing potential hormonal disruptions, these effects were significantly diminished in the recycled paperboard.

Food contact paperboards may be a potential source of food contamination as they can release chemicals (intentionally added or not), especially recycled paperboards. This study assessed the in vitro genotoxicity of food contact paperboard samples from a manufacturer, collected at the beginning and at the end of a recycling production chain. Samples were extracted in water to mimic a wet food contact.

FCM may transfer constituents to foods, not always detected by analytical chemistry, resulting in low but measurable human exposures. Testing FCM extracts with bioassays represents the biological response of a combination of substances, able to be released from the finished materials.
