Today most of the food is packaged at the origin, in packages designed to protect them and increase their conservation, but also to give a better image to consumers. The use of materials for packaging, always new and better functionality and economy is often accompanied with doubts about their hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian legislation on materials coming into contact with food is very detailed and strict. Any material intended to contain food must be authorized by the Ministry of Health, which verifies the absence of interactions between packaging and product. By law, the packaging materials suitable for containing food must contain, well evident, marked &#8220;for food&#8221; or the equivalent symbol depicting a glass and fork.<\/p>\n<p>It &#8216;should make sure that the materials used for packaging food bring back that statement because, those who produce material for food packaging, has no obligation to implement a self-sanitary based on the principles of&#8217; HACCP *. It &#8216;still showed that some packaging materials, can convey to food spoilage microorganisms, chemical contaminants and residues strangers. Most striking example is the transparent films made of PVC expandable with the addition of phthalates to make them more elastic. These films are not suitable for packaging of fatty and oily foods (butter, cheese, sausages, meat with fat exposed) as phthalates, toxic to humans, are soluble in fatty tissue and can migrate into food and be ingested.<br \/>\nFor their practicality and low cost, plastics are the most common food packaging (bags and trays of semi-rigid plastic containers polylaminate cardboard, etc..) Of polymers such as plastics are the main constituents. These are the main materials:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"98%\" cellspacing=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"24%\">\n<pre><span id=\"result_box0\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span title=\"Tipo di materiale\">Type of material<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Sigla\"><span id=\"result_box1\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Abbreviation<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"63%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Principali utilizzi alimentari\"><span id=\"result_box2\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Major food uses<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"24%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Polipropilene\"><span id=\"result_box3\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Polypropylene<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">\n<pre><span title=\"PP\"><span id=\"result_box4\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">PP<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"63%\">\n<pre><span id=\"result_box5\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span title=\"Resistente alle temperature, viene usato per vaschette termoformate e sacchetti che vengono poi riscaldati o fatti bollire.\">Temperature-resistant, is used for thermoformed trays and bags which are then heated or boiled.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"24%\">\n<pre><span id=\"result_box7\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span title=\"Polietilene-tereftalato (Poliestere)\">Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">\n<pre><span title=\"PET\"><span id=\"result_box6\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">PET<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"63%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Bottiglie per acqua e bevande gassate, contenitori per caff\u00e8, miele, cibi freddi quali gelati, surgelati, frutta verdura, salumi, formaggi.\"><span id=\"result_box8\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Bottles for water and carbonated beverages, containers for coffee, honey, cold foods such as ice cream, frozen foods, fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"24%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Polistirene\"><span id=\"result_box9\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Polystyrene<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">\n<pre><span title=\"PS\"><span id=\"result_box10\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">PS<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"63%\">\n<pre><span id=\"result_box11\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span title=\"Ideale per la conservazione di alimenti deperibili a basse temperature, come pesce, carni, gelati, yogurt.\">Ideal for storage of perishable foods at low temperatures, such as fish, meat, ice cream, yogurt.\r\n <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"24%\">\n<pre><span id=\"result_box13\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span title=\"Cloruro di polivinile rigido\">Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"13%\">\n<pre><span title=\"PVC\"><span id=\"result_box12\" lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">PVC<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"63%\">\n<pre><span title=\"Ottimo per prodotti senza grassi;
