FOOD SAFETY SUPPLEMENT: FGL Hall 5 B2C1


Please visit www.nsf.org to access the most current list of these certified products. In order to be ISO 21469 certified, lubricant manufacturers must


develop a strategy to preserve the hygiene of the lubricant product during all phases of production including formulation, blending, packaging and transport. In developing their hygiene plan, the manufacturer must consider and mitigate the introduction of all potential contaminants (physical, chemical and biological) through a documented risk assessment. A qualified, accredited third-party certifier, such as NSF International, then conducts a comprehensive facility inspection to verify risk management policies, verify batch records and collect production samples for laboratory testing. The industry anticipates the continual development of increasingly superior, performance-enhanced lubricants while addressing food safety regulations and environmental concerns via innovative product and packaging design.

Ensuring quality for the future In the coming months food processing facilities and the systems they have in place to protect consumer safety will be the focus in preventing the outbreaks that have occurred over the past several years in the food industry. Additional resources will be devoted to facility audits to ensure the necessary controls are in place on a continued basis. What can you do to prepare for these stringent requirements? Choose to use products in your facilities that have undergone a third-party approval process, to minimise the risk of contamination and to complement your existing HACCP plans. Taking this proactive approach will save you time and money when you are participating in these audits in the future. Improving food safety is an on-going challenge between


managing risk and maintaining efficiency. The use of food grade lubricants and cleaners, combined with maintenance and inspection procedures and thorough equipment cleaning should be incorporated into each processing facility’s HACCP plan. The NSF Nonfood Compounds Program provides operators with a powerful means of minimising risk and improving food safety within their facilities.
