Excerpt
Excerpt: The technology of highly. developed nations is related to the large-scale automated production coupled with long distribution channels. Packaging is an integral and growing part of this system, particularly as it makes possible both the extended storage requirements for chemical stability and often the physical rigors of the distribution system itself. The criteria used for insuring safety in packaged materials, particularly foods and drugs, must be concerned with the interactions of the container and products over lengthening period of contact prior to end usage. As packaged foods become dominant in our daily diet, the emphasis must shift to the possible accumulation of materials producing chronic toxicity rather than to the more easily determinable acute toxicity produced by a single ingestion.
