The U.S. Food and Drug Administration publishes, through the Code of Federal Regulations, standardized criteria which govern the acceptability of materials used in food contact. The U.S. Department of Agriculture publishes similar standards that mirror FDA criteria. Neither agency approves or disapproves products for particular applications. Most of Colder’s products are made using resins that comply with applicable FDA or USDA standards. When necessary, the standard o-ring seals are replaced with specific, recognized materials. |
