Guidelines on the Use of Disposable Tray Liners
Purpose
The guidelines provide recommendations to help the trade preventing food contamination due to the use of disposable tray liners (tray liners).
The guidelines are applicable to all food premises where tray liners are used.
Background
2. For convenience sake, many patrons of fast food restaurants may allow food, such as French fries, or sauce, such as ketchup, to be in direct
contact with tray liners. This practice raised food safety concerns.
3. The constituents from the tray liners, such as additives in the printing inks, may migrate into the food when they come into contact. Whether
these chemicals would pose health risk or not depends on their nature and amount migrated, as well as the amount of chemicals an exposed
individual eaten.
