MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS SPECIFIC TO THE
FOOD INDUSTRY
NSF approved
removable detectable equipment
The presence of foreign bodies in food is the leading cause of consumer complaints that lead to the recall of all products.
The first step in the HACCP, BRC revision 8 and IFS control methods is to identify these possible and dangerous (exogenous) foreign bodies, which may cause illness or injury if not controlled (Art. 14 of regulation CE 178/2002 amended in 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2017 and replaced by EU Regulation 2019/1243 of the European Parliament: and Council of 20 June 2019)).
All solid bodies must therefore be easy to detect, either by visual inspection in the case of regional craftsmen, or by machine vision in the case of large companies: X-rays, HSI hyperspectral imaging systems, 2D and 3D optical vision, colour contrast detectors, Python opencv software application, based on HSV colour perception.
The absence of blue foods makes this colour the standard for detection use.
NSF products manufactured by iBiotec are used for this type of detection. All removable bodies, caps, plugs, covers, diffusers, nozzles and extension pieces presenting a risk are blue and detectable.

RECOMMENDATION 84/2017 concerning hydrocarbons
acronyms
HC Hydrocarbons
MOSH hydrocarbons saturated with mineral oils
POSH Polyolefin Oligomeric Saturated Hydrocarbons
MOAH aromatic hydrocarbons from mineral oils
EFSA European Food Safety Authority
ANSES French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety
FASFC Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (Belgium)
Identified by the EFSA, these HC, MOSH and MOAH substances are food contaminants.
Originally, the most troubling sources of food contamination were printing inks migrating through packaging materials.
In 2017, the European Union published Recommendation 84 requiring Member States to monitor HC in foodstuffs.
A draft ordinance drawn up by Germany is currently being revised (third version) and will result in a regulation (it must be remembered that Germany is the leading European manufacturer of products for food nutrition, and that the IFS standard is a Franco-German system).
At the request of the DGCCRF, the ANSES (referral 2015.SA.0070) issued an opinion dated 08 March 2017.
paragraphs 3 3.1 and 3.4
"It has been established that the origin of MOSH and MOAH during food production also concerns mould release products, lubricants, cleaning products, (and even motor oils from agricultural machinery, or certain pesticides)
paragraphs 3.5.1 and 3.5.2
The toxicological data relating to these contaminants are given in the paragraphs above
WARNING
HC, MOSH/POSH and MOAH content must be quantified. The standard NF EN 16.995 defines the type of analysis. HPLC/GC then HPLC (FID), dual-channel gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection. This method makes it possible to quantify the following separately
- MOSH and POSH
- MOAH
Note that it is not possible to separate MOSH and POSH because of their structural similarity. Consequently, when there are no MOSH, there are no POSH.
The FASFC has defined the action thresholds for mineral oil hydrocarbons. These limit values are different for different food families.
EU Regulation 2021/382
published on 04 March 2021 in the OJEU
amending regulation 852/2004
THE CULTURE OF FOOD SAFETY
BECOMES A REGULATORY OBLIGATION
SITUATION in May 2023
The European Commission confirms that it is prohibited to market products contaminated with MOSH and MOAH, above strict thresholds. Products contaminated with
potentially carcinogenic or genotoxic hydrocarbon derivatives must be withdrawn from the market.
In France, a draft decree has been drawn up in application of Art. 123.19.1 of the Environmental Code. Art. 112 of the law specifies that mineral oils are banned from 1 January 2022 on packaging intended for the public.
