Abstract: The safety of food is fundamental, and a pivotal aspect of this is the prospect for chemical substances to transmit from food contact materials (FCMs) into food. This approach, known as migration, can drive harmful compounds, change food quality, and institute a risk to human health. Consequently, migration testing of FCMs is a crucial component of food safety regulations globally. This article furnishes a comprehensive overview of FCM migration assay, comprising its primary principles, the analytical procedures utilized, and the global food safety standards that control it. It also discusses neoteric research trends, compliances, and, highlighting the developing nature of this critical field.
