Our food-safe paper doesn't have the need for PE-coatings, which reduces the need for plastic in packaging.
In the European Union, packaging material for food is subject to particularly strict guidelines. Only food-safe materials may come into contact with food. This ensures that no components of the packaging are transferred to the food. The taste and smell of the food, as well as the health of the consumer are thus protected. Of course, this also applies to paper packaging. It is only approved for food if the paper is manufactured in compliance with European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004.
Suitable papers can be used for direct contact with food. There are differences depending on whether dry/non-greasy, greasy or moist/liquid food is involved. At Mondi, we check the individual suitability of all our paper brands and provide individual declarations of conformity for each product.
The glass/fork symbol serves as a mark for food-safe materials. We use it in our marketing and communication materials and on mymondi to provide a good overview of food-safe papers.
This symbol, which is recognised and valid throughout the EU, identifies materials that are suitable for food contact.
Food packaging needs to store, shelter and transport items safely, but it also needs to be suitable for printing and converting in a way that does not impact the food, that leads to:
GMP stands for quality control and assurance according to the ISO standard 9001 in order to guarantee a consistent quality for all our products and the safety of products designated for contact with food.
It also stands for hygiene control and assurance according to the standard EN 15593 in order to manage all processes related to the manufacturing of food contact materials.
Finally, based of those management systems and confirmed by independent institutes like ISEGA we can guarantee with our „Declaration of compliance“ that our food contact materials can be used for packaging foods without hesitation.
The Mondi Group Food Safety Laboratory, installed in 2010, is located in Graz and Frantschach to support the Mondi sites’ compliance work for their sensitive packaging. The service of the FSL is based on four pillars.

As a paper producer we have to comply on the one hand with the national laws — which apply to materials that may come into contact with food — of the country in which we produce; e.g. at the Austrian site Mondi Neusiedler with the Austrian laws.
On the other hand, we have to make sure that we comply with the legal framework of the country in which we sell the paper to our partners. In Europe, there are the respective national laws and the European Framework Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004. The German BfR Recommendation XXXVI is a very widely used reference. The advantage of the German BfR recommendation is that there is a so-called positive list, i.e. materials are listed which are approved for food contact according to the current state of science and technology.
