**4. Conclusion**

Food-packaging interaction is a systematic procedure that may take long to proliferate, but has direct solid effect to the food integrity, it directly either render the food or the packaging helpless to either external or internal factors which may speed changes that will affect the shelf stability of the food. If the interaction is on the negative side, the food and the packaging losses their initial state of intactness and therefore losses their natural role in packaging system. As evolved from this module, different packaging materials react differently to adverse chemical, physical and environmental factors and that can facilitate to improve or mitigate interaction with food. The compounding effect of food-packaging interaction is critical to selection and even for the preparation of food therefore, critical attention should be made on studying the nature and type of the packaging to be used as well as to the studying the length of storage, condition, the logistic requirement to delivering the product to consumer. Packaging is not only the enclosure of food but part of the food system that can either be detriment or of advantage to the food depending on the type of interaction it has with the food. Novel packaging technologies as new trends brought about solution to reduction of the adverse effect of food-packaging interaction which improve on and reduce to cost of production, shelf stability of food products as well as the environmental impact of packaging. Because it is inevitable, food-packaging interaction can be determine through several methods that are evolving with the continuous evolution of informative computer management system and the artificial intelligence. More work need to be done on the development of better predictive tools for the determination of migration/interaction in paper packaging. Since the science of food is analytical, effort should be made also on the development of fast and precise analytical methods for the determination of food-packaging interaction.
