Crazy About Packaging: Conversations with the C.A.P. Pack

Season 3, Episode 6: Food Safety Validation in Packaging


Listen Later

🧪 In this episode of Crazy About Packaging, the CAP Pack — Natalie, Mike, and Jonathan — unpack a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime: food safety in packaging.

Before a package hits a production line, let alone store shelves, it has to pass a series of tests, audits, and validations to make sure it’s safe. This episode breaks down what that process actually looks like, and why switching materials is never just plug-and-play.

🔍 Tune in to explore:

  • Why regulatory reviews, migration testing, and seal integrity are non-negotiable for food-safe packaging
  • What happens when packaging materials interact with food (and why it’s not as simple as checking a box)
  • How packaging that “works” in theory can fall apart in transit or fail in real-world use
  • The step-by-step process teams go through when changing packaging materials

🎯 If you’ve ever wondered why packaging changes take months or what really goes into validating a new structure, this episode lays it out.
