For brands marketing in Europe and North America, navigating the complex web of food contact material regulations is a critical, non-negotiable aspect of product development. Compliance ensures consumer safety, mitigates legal risk, and underpins brand trust. Our manufacturing processes and MOPP/VMPET/PE material formulations are rigorously controlled and documented to meet or exceed the stringent safety standards required in these markets.
Our materials and finished pouches are designed to comply with a comprehensive set of international regulations:
European Union: Full compliance with Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, including adherence to specific migration limits (SML) for substances. We also ensure alignment with REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) and the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004.
United States: Compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly concerning the constituents of the plastics and adhesives used in lamination.
Global Standards: Our facilities and quality systems often adhere to internationally recognized standards such as ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management) and BRCGS Packaging Materials Global Standard, which provide frameworks for hazard analysis and quality control.
To substantiate compliance, we conduct extensive testing. This includes migration testing, where finished pouches are exposed to food simulants under controlled time and temperature conditions to measure the potential transfer of any substances. We also perform heavy metal testing and maintain full traceability of all raw materials back to their source.
For our clients, we provide comprehensive Declaration of Compliance (DoC) documents and supporting test reports. This transparent documentation simplifies our clients' own regulatory submissions and due diligence processes, providing them with the confidence that their packaging partner is a vigilant guardian of product safety and legal compliance in every market they serve.
