LUBRICANTS

Specially formulated for use in the food processing and beverage industry, lubricants are designed to comply with the strict standards set by regulatory agencies, including the FDA and NSF. While food safety and functionality is the biggest criterion, there are some changes on the horizon most notably around PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) used in the F&B manufacturing and supply chain. We invite all suppliers of chemicals and lubricants to the sector to share their latest products with us, as we unpack a new future in food safe lubricants!

TESTING AND LABORATORY

With issues around food safety and ingredient contamination a constant concern, it is vital for all players in the F&B supply chain to invest in the latest scientific laboratory and testing equipment. This requirement can also be outsourced to accredited testing laboratories to ensure parameters such as pH, consistency, nutritional levels, consistency of chemical composition, degradation (expiry dates), storage conditions and microbiological activity in addition to bacteria such as E.coli and salmonella are within the right guidelines. In this feature we unpack the latest solutions on offer, from customers and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) solution high to accessories and consumables.
