"Incidental Food contact"

Cassida Fluid GL 680 registered by NSF (Class H1) and meets the USDA H1 guidelines (1998) for lubricants for use where there is a potential for incidental food contact. Made only from substances permitted under the US FDA Title 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and/or those generally regarded as safe (US 21 CFR 182) for use in food grade lubricants. To comply with the requirements of US 21 CFR 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided where possible. In the case of incidental food contact, the concentration of this product in the food must not exceed 10 parts per million (10mg/kg of foodstuff). In locations and/or applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration limits, it is recommended that this same 10 ppm limit be observed, as up to this concentration Cassida Fluid GL 680 will not impart undesirable taste, odour or colour to food, nor will cause adverse health effects. Consistent with good manufacturing practice, use only the amount necessary to achieve correct lubrication and take appropriate corrective action should excessive incidental contact with food be detected.
