Within the AIB Standards Section 5.30 Testing Requirements starts by stating "where applicable, testing procedures are defined for evaluation of transfer of chemical, odor, and taste to food products that will be packaged using these materials". Here at our facility we manufacture extruded plastic net that holds produce. For example apples, oranges, limes, lemons, tomatoes, onions, etc. Now all of these have outer skins which protect the vegetable or fruit. I don't see how the plastic would transfer odor, taste, or chemical to the item inside the net. I could see where this would be an issue for lets say milk cartons or jars of peanut butter and jelly. So, what I'm asking is given these circumstances am I able to answer NOT APPLICABLE to this section or do I have to I have to get a statement from the plastic pellet vendor stating that the plastic doesn't exhibit odors, chemical, or taste that it can pass to the items inside. I'm really trying to stay away from more testing cause the boss doesn't want to pay for it.
