HACCP and Chemical Hazards HACCP focuses on identifying and controlling chemical, biological, and physical hazards in food production. In the context of packaging: Ink migration is considered a chemical hazard. HACCP plans must assess whether substances from packaging (like solvents or photoinitiators in ink) could leach into food. When we talk about ink and packaging as chemical hazards in the context of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), we're focusing on how certain...
