NEW PLASTIC MATERIAL

In a recently published study, it was found that black plastic material can contain flame retardants if it is made from recycled material. CNN and the Bild newspaper reported on this.

The plastic kitchen helpers we manufacture are madeΒ exclusively from certified virgin plasticΒ thatΒ does not contain any flame retardants (for example decabromodiphenyl ether => DecaBDE). The raw materials fulfil all the requirements of the German Food and Commodities Act (LFGB) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

QUALITY ASSURANCE

In-houseΒ quality assurance accompanies and monitors production meticulously. Close co-operation with the responsible food authorities rounds off the quality process.
