For this reason, it is great importance assess presence these substances ensure its safety quality. The aim article review latest advances analysis potentially migratory plastics foodstuff, including target, non-target, simulant analyses during period 2019–2023. innovations are centred around development sample treatment procedures using sustainable extraction sorbents solvents, automation miniaturisation, improvements instrumental by chromatographic techniques hyphenated mass spectrometers. Additionally, omics also present considerably progress last five years, with powerful identification databases softwares. reference legislative systems contact materials examined.
