UV/EB Inks - Take a Sigh of Relief

So what really is the problem with using UV/EB inks in food packaging? The problem, as Golden sees it, is kind of a misunderstanding. He said some believe that dangerous chemicals can migrate from UV/EB products into food, to be ingested by unsuspecting consumers. But, he said, that may not be the case. The problem is, again, trying to see eye-to-eye with the FDA on allowable migration. But Golden is very positive an answer will surface, and even went as far as to say the FDA and the alliance will be in agreement by the end of this year. This is an exciting opportunity for all of those who are involved in package printing, especially ink manufacturers.
