Determination of Nanomaterials in the Food Industry: An Approach to Safety and Quality | Chapter 4 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 3

 Nanomaterials (NMs) have a substantial impact on a variety of industries, including cosmetics, biocidal products, healthcare, and, most notably, the food business. The two main applications of NMs in the food chain are as food additives and as food contact materials in food packaging. This paper examines European Union rules in order to create the European legislative framework in which NMs are designed and implemented, underlining the potential trade-off between food safety and food quality. In general, it appears that the European Union considers the size of nanomaterials rather than their specific toxicity or the significance of conducting case-by-case assessments.
