Food-packaging structures and converting

How could the proposed material affect package barrier performance, seal integrity or shelf-life claims?

The company publishes no barrier result, no seal-integrity result and no shelf-life claim.

Food packaging and water are research applications on this site, and the company publishes no market position for either. The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications, and that they do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses. They also state: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product.” and that images and descriptions may show concepts or prototypes, which are not specifications, instructions, validation reports, recommendations, warranties, offers, promises, or commitments. The Food packaging chapter states that NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge.

The one food comparison the company publishes is the Strawberry Test: three strawberries held at 26°C for thirteen days, one stored in a glass jar, one wrapped in polyester, and one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging. That is a comparison of three strawberries under one stated condition, and it is not a barrier measurement, a seal test or a shelf-life figure for any packaged food.

Which food types, contact durations and contact temperatures are actually covered by the submitted evidence?

A published result belongs to the article that was tested, under the conditions named in the report that recorded it.

Apart from the Strawberry Test, the company publishes no food type, no contact duration and no contact temperature as tested conditions for food contact. The one food comparison the company publishes is the Strawberry Test: three strawberries held at 26°C for thirteen days, one stored in a glass jar, one wrapped in polyester, and one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging. The conditions listed on the Validation page are heavy dust loaded, fast air flow, used filter for 1 year, after 60 washes, after 2 years of storage, and after 60C for 64 days. Those are the conditions the material was tested under, not food-contact conditions. The organisms named on the Validation page are the viruses SARS-CoV-2, human coronavirus 229E, Coxsackievirus B6, bovine coronavirus, pseudo-type SARS-CoV-2, influenza A H3N2 and Phi6 bacteriophage; the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis; and the fungi Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans.

What evidence distinguishes a material test from a claim that packaged food will keep longer?

The company makes no shelf-life claim for any food.

The one food comparison the company publishes is the Strawberry Test: three strawberries held at 26°C for thirteen days, one stored in a glass jar, one wrapped in polyester, and one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging. The film on the page labels the strawberry in a glass jar “Expired on Day 2”, the one in polyester “Expired on Day 3”, and the one wrapped in NanoFlashing™ Food Packaging “Expired on Day 12”. The Terms of Use state: “Images and descriptions may show concepts or prototypes. They are not specifications, instructions, validation reports, recommendations, warranties, offers, promises, or commitments.” The Terms of Use state: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Water, Textiles, Food packaging, and Medical devices chapters describe Research Applications, and that they do not describe finished products currently available from C-POLAR for those uses.

A test of a material shows what that test found on that material; a statement that packaged food will keep longer is a different claim, and the company has not made it.
