Food Packaging and Labeling

The primary aim of packaging is to provide a barrier against dirt and other contaminants.

Food packaging must provide a barrier against physical damage only.

The packaging and labels can be used by marketers to discourage potential buyers to purchase the product.

Each product has the same needs for packaging.

Packaging is not essential to achieve the objectives of keeping the food in good condition and encouraging customers to purchase the product.

Powders and granular materials do not need containment.

The packaging should provide the correct environmental conditions for food only until it is sold.

Food packaging should not provide protection and convenience in handling and transport during distribution and marketing.

The main aims of packaging do not include keeping the food in good condition until it is sold and consumed.
