Ziki Kuly of Scodix VP Product Marketing said: “This is a great leap forward for customers needing the accreditation to win new types of work, or for brands that want to upscale the impact of their food packaging.

Now that PS850 is certified by Nestlé as compliant with indirect food contact, brands can rest assured they can embellish food packaging items safely, and beautifully,” Kuly added.
