Paxton meets food safety requirements
THE MIGRATION of a hazardous substance into foodstuff is the main safety concern for food contact materials (FCMs).
The principles set out in Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 require that materials do not release their constituents into food at levels harmful to human health.
All Paxton Materials Handling products, manufactured from non-coloured polyethylene meet these most stringent requirements and come with a Declaration of Compliance (DoC), supported by comprehensive migration testing.
Compliance can only be verified by migration testing. Simply stating ”made from food safe material” as many in the industry still do, is clearly not enough.
The migration testing is carried out using various food simulants (typically, 10% ethanol for alcohols, 3% acetic acid for acidic food and olive oil for fatty foods). All the test results for Paxton Materials Handling Products fell comfortably below the limits stipulated in EU Regulation 10/2011.
