Food safety has become one of the most important challenges in the modern food industry. The growing demand for safe, high-quality, and long-lasting food products has encouraged the development of innovative packaging technologies. Smart packaging technologies represent an advanced approach that not only protects food products but also monitors their quality and safety throughout the supply chain. This article examines the role of smart packaging technologies in ensuring food safety, extending shelf life, reducing food waste, and improving product traceability. The study discusses active packaging, intelligent packaging, sensors, indicators, and digital monitoring systems used in modern food packaging. The findings indicate that smart packaging technologies significantly contribute to food quality preservation, contamination prevention, and consumer protection. Furthermore, these technologies enhance supply chain efficiency and support sustainable food production practices.
