ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE
The protection of consumer health is
a top priority. As the world´s leading
producer of cartonboard solutions,
Mayr-Melnhof Karton is aware of this
responsibility. Since the mineral oil
subject became known, we have taken
the lead in working on a solution with
a team of experts with the aim of the
highest possible consumer protection
– in consultation with the German
authorities and in advance of future
statutory regulations.
With FOODBOARD™,
Mayr-Melnhof Karton has
developed the next generation
of cartonboard which ensures
highest product safety.
The new cartonboard grade is a protected internal development from Mayr-Melnhof Karton with an innovative barrier
concept as the core component. FOODBOARD™ is a pure cartonboard solution and is produced inline on the board machine
at the Frohnleiten mill in Austria. The current available capacity
of the safe cartonboard is about 300,000 tonnes per annum.
FOODBOARD™ demonstrated excellent printing and converting
results as well as the highest packing line performance. The
knowledge gained from the real-life tests has been summarized in a Converting Guideline. Laboratory analyses and test
series of our customers confirm a longer shelf-life for certain
packed foods, top protection from organoleptic influences as
well as slightly grease resistant attributes. FOODBOARD™
preserves the quality and consistency of the packed foods.

PRODUCT SAFET Y
FOODBOARD™ shields packed food against the migration of defined unintended substances such as mineral
oils, phthalates, DIPN and bisphenol A. The barrier provides
comprehensive protection against influences from printing inks
and the environment, which can compromise the packed food
during transportation, storage and at the point of sale. Thanks to
the FOODBOARD™ app a continuous traceability of the single
packaging covering the entire production process is enabled.
FOODBOARD™ protects reliably against cross-contamination
and means transparency in the supply chain.
FOODBOARD™ complies with the current European
regulations and laws for direct and indirect food contact. Leading European institutes have issued relevant declarations of
food conformity and reinforced that FOODBOARD™ meets the
latest published statutory requirements of a possible “mineral
oil regulation” from the German Federal Ministry for Food and
Agriculture (BMEL). Furthermore these external analyses prove
that by the use of FOODBOARD™ no migration of MOAH
into food above the detection limit 0,15 mg/kg exists.With
the FOODBOARD™ logo on the packaging, food producers
can communicate their commitment to product safety and
thus significantly strengthen consumer confidence and inform
authorities of the functional barrier on the shelves.

Since the end of 2011, in close collaboration with leading
international consumer goods producers, extensive long-term
real-life tests (up to 36 months) have been carried out in a wide
variety of food segments like cereals, chocolate, pasta, tea, bakery products, fast food or rice. The results of more than 15,000
internal and external migration analyses confirm conclusively
the effectiveness of the functional barrier. The real-life tests of
FOODBOARD™ is an environmentally friendly pure
cartonboard solution, not an extruded or laminated compound,
and it is therefore fully recyclable and bio-degradable. The innovative barrier cartonboard is available with FSC® or PEFC™
certification. FOODBOARD™ secures the ecological benefits
of a sustainable packaging economy.
