Are your cleaning tools documented food-safe?

Keeping track of all the legislation is just one of the challenges the industry faces. For example, in Europe all food and beverage companies need to comply with legislation covering plastic materials in direct contact with food and food contact surfaces. Alternatively – and sometimes additionally – authorities in some markets demand compliance with certain US FDA food contact materials standards.

Ensuring compliance with food contact material requirements is even more challenging when suppliers of articles intended for direct or indirect food contact use (like cleaning tools) are unaware of or neglect the appropriate regulations, or provide poor or confusing compliance documentation.

Vikan takes pride in ensuring that its food industry cleaning tools are EU and FDA regulation compliant, as appropriate, and that it provides all relevant documentation in support of this, including (on request) migration test reports and comprehensive declarations of compliance.
