Along with the increasing market trend of nanocomposited food
packaging has come an increase in public concern over possible
harm to human health. Many research studies have demonstrated
the probable migration behavior of nanomaterials from the polymer
matrix, but some experimental studies have demonstrated that
the migrated quantity is quite low in relation to other migration
rates. However, most of these studies were conducted with food
simulants, and testing with real foodstuffs remains insufficient.
With undefined toxicity level of nanoparticles, the lack of knowledge
on human health effects and risk assessments may restrict the
number of nanomaterial consumption in the food-related applications.
Publishers and media outlets use their channels to communicate
with consumers and provoke governmental agencies with
regard to the national regulation of nanomaterials in food packaging.
