Welcome to the official GitHub of the Food Packaging Forum Foundation, a scientific non-profit organization dedicated to the research and communication about the chemicals in food contact materials.
The Food Packaging Forum enables stakeholders to make better decisions by applying the latest science on chemicals in food contact materials and on the environmental impacts of food packaging. Through its independent, balanced, and science-based publications and tools, the Food Packaging Forum contributes to protecting human and environmental health.
Our public repository useful-resources contains functions and information for easier research processes, especially pertaining to chemicals.
