FOOD CONTACT MATERIALS

At Sigillum Knowledge Solutions we offer technical advice on the regulation of more than 60 countries to guarantee clients the placing on the market of safe products, avoiding the interruption of the supply chain.

 

Our team is specialized in the analysis of materials and objects intended to come into contact with food (FCM), whether during production (eg machines and conveyors), storage (packaging and containers) or cooking or service (eg dishes, utensils and kitchenware).
