The FDA 21 CFR 175.300 standard, developed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is a standard known as resinous and polymeric coatings and is a general regulation covering most coating formulations that come into direct contact with food. Coating companies must use materials that comply with FDA regulations, such as this standard, and follow good manufacturing practices in the formulation and production of coatings.
According to the said standard, resinous and polymeric coatings can be safely used as a food contact surface of materials intended to be used in the production, packaging, processing, preparation, transportation or storage processes of foods, in accordance with the conditions specified in the standard.
The coating is applied as a continuous film or enamel on a metal substrate, or the coating is designed for repeated use with food. It is applied to any suitable substrate as a continuous film or enamel that acts as a functional barrier to food. The coating is characterized by one or more of the following descriptions:
