Dr. Benoît Schilter, Head of the Food Safety Research Department at Nestlé, Switzerland, addressed the applicability of bioassays for the safety evaluation of food packaging (FPF reported). In a short interview, he highlighted that bioassays could be used to determine which chemical migrants from packaging require in vivo toxicological assessment.
