Objectives
The "Packaging, processing, food" ACTIA PROPACK FOOD RMT (2014-2018) brings together scientific and technical experts to work on an integrated approach to the relationship between packaging, processes, and food, which are vital to the management of food safety and the quality of processed food products.
This RMT started its five-year programme in January 2014. It follows on from the Actia ProPack Food RMT accredited for the 2008-2013 period.
