These companies have higher goals for yields and waste reduction in production facilities while plants and operators are under time pressures with less emphasis on personnel training and education.<\/p>\n<p>There are customer pressures to those sourcing food products around private labeling, contract manufacturing and retailers putting regulatory and additional testing requirements on products. The need to focus on food safety now is growing.<\/p>\n<p>Lubricants used in production processes offer the possibility of cross-contamination into food. The growing concern for food-safe lubricants raises questions about whether food safety regulations and standards also apply to food-grade lubricants and how food manufacturers meet operational requirements without introducing new chemical hazards.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Looking for food-food-grade lubricants?<\/h3>\n<p>Prospector has hundreds of materials from global suppliers. Find technical data, promotional material, supplier contacts, and more in Prospector.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/Lubricants\/Product\/search?k=Food-Grade&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Search food-grade lubricants now<\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>The importance of risk mitigation<\/h3>\n<p>Hazard control in food processing reduces the potential for contamination from both biological agents such as pathogens or spoilage organisms and chemical agents like toxins, carcinogens or mutagens. In order to be effective, hazard control must extend to the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Processing areas:<\/strong>\u00a0Includes receiving, storage, lethality, assembly, packaging, storage and shipping.<\/li>\n<li>Includes equipment design and construction, surface treatments and coatings and plant steam and water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance activities:<\/strong>\u00a0Includes cleaning, pest control, water treatment and lubrication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hazards can be controlled by having effective Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans and ensuring they are implemented. They also can be controlled by making sure equipment is designed in a way that is sanitary and doesn\u2019t harbor additional bacteria or cleaning agents in areas where they are undesired and by using third-party verified lubricants.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to control against hazards in order to avoid the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Public health crises and foodborne illness outbreaks<\/li>\n<li>Brand destruction, media attention and consumer litigation<\/li>\n<li>Product recalls, public notice and product disposition<\/li>\n<li>Regulatory enforcement, penalties and criminal charges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Food recalls can affect millions of people depending on where the food is distributed. Repercussions of recalls are significant and can destroy a brand\u2019s reputation in the industry.<\/p>\n<h3>International regulations for food-grade industries<\/h3>\n<p>The U.S. is heavily regulated and has specific criteria about how to evaluate products with consideration for food safety. Regulation is established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with NSF International acting as the product certification body.<\/p>\n<p>In the U.S., products must be formulated in accordance with Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (21CFR) 178.3570. Or the ingredients in the lubricant must be listed as safe in (21CFR) 178.3570 where there is a list of acceptable components including oils, antioxidants, surfactants, etc., along with use limitations. Another option to comply with the regulation could be through an approved contact notification from the FDA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>European Union (EU):<\/strong>\u00a0In the EU the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) provides advice on food safety risks and publishes scientific opinions on certain compounds (e.g., mineral oils). Today there is no formal EU regulation for lubricants like there is in the U.S. Typically the U.S. compliance requirements are accepted in the EU.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canada:<\/strong>\u00a0The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) enforces that country\u2019s regulations. It maintains a list of CFIA-approved chemical compounds but has scaled back the scope of the reviews for the last two years. It used to operate a program similar to the NSF program in the U.S. with similar criteria, but now it applies only to meat processing. It is uncertain whether CIFA will ramp up the scope or scale it back again in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>China:<\/strong>\u00a0The Food Safety authority in China is the Food Hygiene Law of the People\u2019s Republic of China. This law ensures food hygiene and protects food products from contamination of harmful substances. It doesn\u2019t cover products themselves but instead covers the premises, processing facilities and environments where products are produced.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t specify hygiene standards for lubricants but says that harmful substances must not be introduced to processing areas. Rather than focus on the hygiene side, it focuses more on potential harmful substances being added into the products that could contaminate the final lubricant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia:<\/strong>\u00a0In the past, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) operated a program similar to the one in Canada, reviewing and listing products as compliant and mirroring the U.S. criteria for ingredient review. In Australia lubricants with incidental contact are called Lubricants Type A. Two years ago they also suspended their acceptance review program and are no longer adding products to their list of accepted foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asia-Pacific.<\/strong> Several Asia-Pacific countries are strengthening their food safety regulations and expanding laws for food processing. In time more countries in the region may start to focus further on the lubricant sector, but no regulations exist now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Excerpted and reprinted with permission from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stle.org\/files\/TLTArchives\/2016\/01_January\/Webinars.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 2016 issue of <em>Tribology and Lubrication Technology<\/em><\/a> (TLT), the official monthly magazine of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, an international not-for-profit technical society headquartered in Park Ridge, Illinois.
