Dear All,
May I request a little help / clarification on the under mentioned.
We are shortly having our BRC inspection and have obtained a new supplier of board from Germany. I requested a Certificate of Conformity and also a food grade statement and have recieved the following:
"We are pleased to confirm that the board supplied buy us is manufactured accoring to the latest technical developments and in compliance with the recommendation XXXVI of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) i.e we only use raw and auxiliiary materials meeting the requirements of the recommendation XXXVI of the BfR.
We further confirm that our board used as packaging materials for pre-packed goods, that means separation from foodstuff by a functional barrier, meets the regulations of tthe Food and feed law book (LFBG from 01.09.2005, particularly ss30 section 1-3 and 31 section 1)."
I have done a little reading up on the BfR and it seems to me that it mainly relates to chemical composition (control law) of various articles in Germany and in itself is not a suitable "food grade" contact statement as in complying with EU reg 2002/72/EC and its amendments.
I would value and help and advice from Safepackers
Kind regards,
Steve
