December 25, 2009, Newsletter Issue #198: What Is "FDA Construction"?

Tip of the Week

Depending on the intended use of a hopper, you may need to purchase hoppers made with FDA-approved construction and materials. The transport and storage of food-grade materials is regulated, and FDA construction complies with federal guidelines enacted to protect consumers from food contamination, chemical reactions, and other concerns. One kind of hopper built with FDA requirements in mind is the polyethylene hopper. These are routinely used in the food processing industry, and features often include a lid or cover fitted with a seal to prevent contamination of the product from sources outside the hopper. If you need food-grade storage, the polyethylene hopper is a very good choice.
