Chemical Migration Analysis from Paper and Board Food Packaging

88% of tested paper and board food contact articles contained at least one target substance. This dataset, authored by Mélanie Di Mario and last updated in June 2026, presents results from an investigation of 78 straws and takeaway articles for substances like plasticizers, bisphenols, and mineral oils. Analysis was performed using liquid and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry or flame ionization detection.

Use Cases

• Assess consumer exposure risks based on detected substances like bisphenol A and primary aromatic amines.
• Compare chemical profiles between different product types like straws and takeaway articles.
• Evaluate the safety of sustainable packaging alternatives based on mineral oil (MOSH/MOAH) content.

Strengths

• Analyzes 78 total samples (20 straws, 58 takeaway articles) across multiple product types.
• Targets a specific list of chemical categories including plasticizers, photoinitiators, and bisphenols.
• Employs advanced analytical techniques (chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small in size (79.3 KB), indicating limited scope.
