Specific migration studies, using food simulants, have been conducted on a range of polymers which are used in food packaging and contain commonly used fatty acid amide slip additives. Migration levels using the test conditions (10 days at 40°C) were found to depend primarily upon the food simulant and the polymer type, with the fat simulant and low density polyethylene giving the highest values in the range 1.8-3.1 milligrams of fatty acid amide per kilogram of simulant. Extremely low levels of migration, < 0.05 milligrams of fatty acid amide per kilogram of simulant, were found with aqueous food simulants for all plastics tested, and fat simulant with PVC and polystyrene plastics.
