Food Safety Requirements for Juice Packaging in 2026

Food Safety Requirements for Juice Packaging in 2026

Understanding food safety regulations is critical for any juice brand.

Food Contact Material Requirements

All materials that touch your juice must meet food-contact standards:

• PET plastic is approved for food contact (21 CFR 177.1630)
• Materials must not transfer harmful substances to food
• Migration testing may be required for new formulations

BPA-Free Compliance

PET plastic is inherently BPA-free — BPA is not used in PET manufacturing. You can confidently label PET bottles as "BPA-Free."

Key Regulations

• 21 CFR Part 177 — Indirect Food Additives (Polymers)
• 21 CFR Part 120 — Hazard Analysis (HACCP) for Juice
• Fair Packaging and Labeling Act — Volume, ingredients, nutrition info

Reputable manufacturers provide:

• Certificate of Compliance
• Food-contact certification documentation
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
