FOOD CONTACT
PRODUCTS SUITABLE FOR FOOD CONTACT
INZEA® products comply with European regulations related to plastics in contact with food. These regulations include Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. These standards ensure that all additives of use or raw materials used in the manufacture of such products are permitted for this purpose. In addition, they require compliance with overall and substance-specific migration limits, metal content limits, as well as the declaration of dual-use additives.
VERIFICATION AND COMPLIANCE
NUREL verifies compliance with these limits on its products, and issues declarations of conformity, which include limitations on the type of food with which it may be in contact, or conditions of use, if any.
conditions
Because processing conditions can affect migration results, it is up to the final producer to re-assure the compliance of his products.
