 We understand the importance of food safety in protecting the health of consumers. Offering all the reassurance of a fully transparent, fully compliant approach, UPM food contact papers are ideal for a wide range of food-related end-uses.

All UPM packaging grades are safe for direct contact with food and comply with food contact regulations in both Europe (EU 1935/2004, BfR) and the USA (FDA). We also comply with other local regulations; for example, packaging papers from our Changshu paper mill in China, also meet local QS food safety standards. And our experts actively monitor regulatory developments, so you can trust us to stay on top of regulatory changes.
