## 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
### Testing & Certification
Reputable manufacturers provide:
- Certificate of Compliance
- Food-contact certification documentation
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Migration testing results upon request
