G'day Forum members,

The frame regulation for food contact materials 1935/2004 entered into force within the EU in December 2004.
In The Netherlands this regulation applies from October 2006.
This traceability aims to protect the customer from harmful products.
The regulation is simply, traceability should be possible one step forward and one step backward in the chain.
Should everything and anything be traceable?
There is no sense in tracing pencils and staples, but what about cleaning liquids used in the production area to wipe the floor, sticky tape to close box lids.
We need some criteria to define what should be traceable and what not.
I formulated following criteria for traceability:

1. all products shipped to customers should be traceable to the raw material level
2. materials that are used within the facility that can be transmitted directly or trough cross contamination onto products that are shipped to customers

Please feel free to add and give your opinion.

Remember to share good fortune with your friends, Okido

I think you've covered it very well.

In the food industry we are only required to do step 1 (I think / hope!) but it would be a good idea to trace other items based on risk (as you are doing :thumbup: )

No I am just saying #1 - e.g. raw materials and packaging, but not tape and cleaning materials etc.
