Many of Röchling's plastics for direct contact with food also meet the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Strictes test conditions

Evidence of suitability for food is provided by means of migration tests pursuant to Regulation 10/2011/EU which were carried out on our products with all the necessary simulants under the toughest test conditions with regard to temperature and the duration of testing. This means you can be confident that the tested plastics are considered suitable for contact with all kinds of food as stated in our
declarations of compliance.
