A Wide Range of Plastic Materials Suitable for Food Contact
LATI offers over 200 materials suitable for food contact for the European market according to Reg. (EU) No. 10/2011 and for the US market according to FDA 21 CFR Parts 170-199 available upon request. Our technicians are at your disposal to advise you on the most appropriate material for the application.
NSF/ANSI 51 certification
The NSF/ANSI 51 certification constitutes the commercial standard for the US market for materials suitable for food contact and is issued by the prestigious independent agency NSF, https://www.nsf.org/. Both Italian plants undergo a rigorous annual audit to verify the requirements of the registered products listed below. You can always verify the official listing through this link.
Q&A
The NSF/ANSI 51 certification covers materials and coatings used in contact with food in the United States, ensuring they are not harmful to health and food safety.
LATI has over a dozen materials certified with the NSF/ANSI 51 standard with which it is possible to produce components and accessories for piping, faucets, distribution systems, gaskets, as well as parts of beverage dispensers, coffee machines, and kitchen robots.
The NSF/ANSI 51 certification has no legal value outside the United States but can still constitute an important added value in a globalized market. For the European market, reference is made to Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.
