This concise review describes the science and technology developments made towards applications of nanomaterials in food packaging materials. The technical benefits of actual and near-market applications are described. The uncertainties over risks that some of these novel materials may pose to consumer safety and environmental safety are outlined along with the corresponding regulatory barrier that this poses to innovation and new product development. Finally, some opportunities and approaches are proposed for developing countries to gain the expected benefits of the newly emerging nanotechnologies. This could involve taking the new science and technology, developed already for retail packaging, and adapting it for more local needs.
