Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and especially article 3 § 1. a. therein:
Materials and articles, including active and intelligent materials and articles, shall be manufactured in
compliance with good manufacturing practice so that, under normal or foreseeable conditions of use, they do
not transfer their constituents to food in quantities which could:
(a) endanger human health; or
(b) bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food; or
(c) bring about a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics thereof.
This product is not intentionally formulated with raw materials liable to endanger human health or bring about
an unacceptable change in the composition of the food or a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics
thereof. However, organoleptic testing is not part of the standard quality control testing performed at
Michelman on above mentioned product.
Furthermore, the requirements mentioned in article 3 concern the end-packaging which comes in direct contact
with the food. Since our products will undergo further processing prior to their use in food packaging
applications, it is the duty of the users to verify that the finished items, manufactured according to good
technology practice do not modify the organoleptic properties of the food and to make sure that the
requirements of Regulation 1935/2004/EC are met.
