Abstract Insect chewing on food packaging materials has been characterized in order to differentiate between entrance and exit bore holes. The characteristics specific to various types of packaging are presented as a method in the form of a descriptive “key” that permits determination of the direction of boring. A collaborative study of the method resulted in 92% correct determinations of boring direction. The method has been adopted as official first action.
