New Clondalkin Packaging Eliminates Mineral Oil Migration 

Clondalkin Flexible Packaging has developed a unique new barrier film for dry food products, particularly cereals, that prevents the migration of potentially harmful mineral oils from the outer packaging into the food itself. The new WENTOPRO-barrier film is the result of 18 months of R&D.

The multi-layer film can be used as a ‘bag in box’ liner for a wide variety of dry foods, including rice, dry pasta, dry noodles, baby food and cereal products. As well as possessing a high moisture barrier, the WENTOPRO film provides a barrier against mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).
