Migration Testing

Migration Testing for Food Packaging & Equipment

Migration Testing is essential for ensuring that food products remain safe throughout processing, packaging, and storage. It evaluates whether harmful chemical substances migrate from food contact materials (FCMs)—such as packaging, utensils, or manufacturing equipment—into the food itself.

At Equinox Labs, our migration testing services help food businesses comply with regulatory limits and maintain product integrity. Whether you're using plastic packaging, industrial belts, or dining wares, we test for potential contamination and ensure your products are safe for consumption and market-ready.

Why Migration Testing Is Important?

Ensure Packaging & Equipment Safety

Detect harmful chemical transfer from plastic, metal, or silicone materials into food.

Meet Regulatory Standards

Comply with FSSAI, BIS, and international food contact regulations — including FDA food contact migration testing.

Support Shelf Life Accuracy

Accurate testing supports reliable shelf life predictions by identifying safe storage durations.

Strengthen Market Readiness

Tested packaging and wares enhance your product’s readiness for both domestic and export markets.

Where Migration Occurs?

Food Manufacturing Equipment

Belts, gaskets, lubricants — all must meet migration limits to avoid indirect contamination.

Food Preparation Wares

Everyday utensils like chopping boards, knives, and whisks can transfer chemicals if not compliant.

Food Packaging

Plastics, paperboard, and multilayer containers must be tested to verify long-term food safety.

Dining Wares

Plates, bowls, and cutlery used in institutional kitchens or pre-packaged meals may leach substances.
