Reference standard for food grade specification for CO2?
Hello friends
Request help.
Which is the reference standard for food grade specs of CO2? Is there any EU standard for this? I found few materials on the same on the EIGA website.
Thank you

Hi Poulami
It appears that there is a FDA regulation which dictates the purity or grading of gases used in the food industry
for Beverage industries the grading of 99.90% CO2 purity for beverage grade gases is now mandated by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA regulations allow for the other .09% of the gas to be made up of other hydrocarbons.
Please visit the following link to understand FDA regulation for food grade gases
For use as an additive (E290) in the EU there is a specification in the annex to Regulation (EU) 231/2012, although the EIGA document 70/17 is more stringent/detailed in a number of areas.
