FDA Compliant
21 CFR 170-199 - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates food contact materials - materials intended to be in contact with food. These materials can be plastics, metal, paper, glass, additives, adhesives, inks, colorants, and coatings etc. During contact, molecules can migrate from these materials to the food and this FDA regulation is made to ensure food safety.
21 CFR 177.2600 - This FDA compliance, which falls under the above 21 CFR 170 - 199, is concerned with indirect food additives, substances that may come into contact with food but are not intended to be added directly to food. Molecules from packing containers and food processing equipment such as food processing hose are examples of indirect food additives. CFR 21 FDA 177.2600 lists what materials are recognized as safe for food processing, how they should be cleansed prior to first use, and sets product extraction limits for aqueous and fatty foods.
