Good morning all,
I am working at a refinery that produces vegetable edible oils and fats.These products are mostly sold as food but we also have customers that buy these products for technical application. Whenever this is the case our product name is changed on the documentation and we add lines stating the product is no longer suitable as food.
The problem might be that we have customers that arrange their own transport to load our product into their tank car.
They arrive with a 'Foodstuffs only' tank car but are actually loading a product which is declared as no longer suitable for food. In my opinion the truck than no longer is a 'foodstuffs only' tank. and in line of chain responisibilty I want to tell our customers this is no longer allowed while the product is in fact of food quality.
Do you think, that in this case it is OK that a non-foodstuff product (of food quality) is loaded into a 'foodstuffs only' tank car?
Very excited to read your thoughts.
Kind regards,
Dan
