Hi All,
Are we allowed to use the food grade paints to identify our food contact production tools? (Metal trays used in the baking ovens)
If so, Do you know an approved brand in Canada ?
Thanks

Hi Hilda, welcome to the forum! Out of curiosity: painted trays in the ovens? What paint could survive under baking temperatures? Just wondering...

Are you talking about painting the loaf pans/ trays on the outside (non-product contact area) as an identifier? If so, whomever does the glazing for your pans typically offers that option. I believe this company offers that service https://www.panglo.com/ - where they put a white stripe on the side so you can identify pan types.
Would never allow painting of any food contact surface.

Thank you Kara for your answers.
I was not sure if food grade paining is allowed on the food surfaces.
I will contact the company you introduced. I have to find a way to identify these baking trays (pans)

DO NOT paint the food contact surfaces CFIA will give you a non conformance for this and you're back to square one
Best case scenario, you have paint flakes on your finished good
Worst case scenario, it off gases after repeated use and you've contaminated your product
You'd be way better off drilling holes and using tags once the trays are out of the oven to identify the batches or even better, tag the cooling racks

I cannot think of an instance where paint would be recommended on pans or trays.
