NSF 538 MOAH-Free certification addresses critical safety concerns across nonfood compounds and food equipment materials, setting new industry standards for consumer protection.
The introduction of our MOAH-Free certification represents a significant contribution toward the reduction of MOAH in the food production chain. By providing manufacturers with a clear route to verify and communicate the safety of their products, whether they’re producing lubricants, processing aids or equipment components, we’re not only protecting consumers but also fostering innovation in an industry that demands the highest safety standards. This certification bridges the critical gap between regulatory compliance and consumer trust.”
Samuel Cole, Global Director of Food Contact Evaluation at NSF.
With European regulators already implementing strict MOAH limits in food products and global awareness growing, this certification provides manufacturers with a proactive solution to demonstrate their commitment to safety. The food industry is increasingly demanding materials that meet the highest safety standards, and NSF’s MOAH-Free certification provides independent verification that products meet these requirements.”
