Notes:
Analytical methods were developed to estimate the nitrosatable morpholine and apparent N-nitrosomorpholine content of paper and paperboard direct contact food packaging. Examination of 34 different paper or paperboard food packages indicated 9 to be contaminated with detectable levels of apparent N-nitrosomorpholine. All 12 packages analyzed for nitrosatable morpholine were positive with an average level of 380 μg/kg. Migration of apparent N-nitrosomorpholine and morpholine to food was demonstrated when paper or paperboard and dry food were incubated in a closed container for 3 days at 100°C.
