Food packaging materials may contaminate the food due to the migration of some undesirable chemicals from FPM to the food stuff and lead to significant health threats. Any interaction between FPM and food is considered to be highly undesirable. Commonly used FPMs metal, plastic ,paper and glass may release poisonous chemicals into the food . Extent of contamination of food by these FPMs depends on the constitution and nature of food as well as of packaging materials .The paper aims to discuss the harmful effects of the chemicals migrating into the food from FPMs.
