Ensuring Food Safety: Comprehensive Food Packaging Materials Testing in Malaysia

Food Packaging Materials Testing

In the modern food supply chain, packaging is more than just a container—it is a critical component of food safety. Whether you are a manufacturer, exporter, or retailer, ensuring that your packaging materials do not leach harmful chemicals into your products is both a regulatory requirement and a brand necessity.


At MYCO2, we provide MS/ISO 17025 accredited testing services for food contact materials (FCM), helping Malaysian businesses meet local and global standards.

Why Test Your Food Packaging?

Food contact materials such as plastics, paper, glass, and metal can interact with food. Under certain conditions—like high temperature or acidity—chemical substances may migrate from the packaging into the food, potentially posing health risks or altering the food's taste and quality.

Testing ensures your products are:

Safe for Consumption

Free from toxic heavy metals, phthalates, and bisphenol A (BPA).

Regulatory Compliant

Meets the requirements of the Malaysia Food Act 1983, US FDA, and EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.

Market-Ready

Essential for brands looking to export to international markets with strict safety protocols.
