Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (LON:SYM) has announced that following the recent approval, from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for its d2p antimicrobial food contact technology, Symphony has now received approval from Health Canada for its use in bread packaging.
Approval for Symphony’s d2p antimicrobial food contact technology, applies to polyolefin and polyester multi-layer films for wrapping bread, so as to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface of the packaging film, which is vital in a very hygiene-conscious industry.
Symphony Environmental Technologies CEO Michael Laurier said “We have been working for some time with customers in Canada, and approval from Health Canada now enables this project to proceed more quickly to commercialisation.”
