Key Trends Positively Influencing Food Certification Market Growth
Leading players in the food certification market are pushing forward with innovative solutions designed to improve consumer safety, such as protocols for safe food packaging certification. These protocols are scientifically grounded frameworks that assess and verify food contact materials for compliance with safety standards by identifying and eliminating harmful chemical substances that could migrate into food products.

For example, in September 2025, the National Science Foundation (NSF), a US-based public health and safety organization, introduced NSF Protocol 525: Safe Food Packaging Certification. This protocol sets strict, science-based criteria for evaluating packaging materials, ensuring they are free from dangerous substances such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), bisphenol A, heavy metals, and phthalates. This protocol bolsters regulatory compliance, supports transparency in packaging safety, and builds public trust by confirming that food contact materials adhere to high global safety standards.
