No, in our reading of Article 29, paragraph 4, which excludes flexible formats used for transport and in direct contact with food or feed as defined in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

An exclusion needs documentation: retain evidence of this direct contact in the packaging's technical documentation, as with any exemption claimed in your declaration of conformity.
