Updated Monitoring Program for Compliance with Food Contact Regulations

At Castor International, we understand that regulatory compliance is not just a requirement but a cornerstone of delivering safe, high-quality products. To this end, we are pleased to share an update on our enhanced monitoring program for three of our key products: Castor oil FSG, Hydrogenated castor oil (HCO), and 12-Hydroxystearic Acid (12-HSA).

Ensuring Safety Through Proactive Monitoring

Since 2018, Castor International has maintained a comprehensive monitoring program, developed in collaboration with consultant Viaware. This program has been pivotal in conducting annual analyses of our products, enabling us to provide Declarations of Compliance (DoC) that assure our customers of adherence to the most stringent food contact safety regulations.

Adapting to Regulatory Developments in 2024

With significant regulatory updates on the horizon for plastic materials and articles intended for food contact, we initiated a thorough review of our monitoring program in Q2/2024. This step was essential to ensure our processes and documentation are aligned with the latest legal requirements.

As a result, we have issued new Declarations of Compliance for Castor oil FSG, HCO, and 12-HSA. These updated DoCs provide transparent, verified proof of compliance, reinforcing our commitment to helping customers meet their safety and quality needs.

Why This Matters

Maintaining compliance with evolving food contact regulations is critical for several reasons. It ensures that our products remain safe for use in sensitive applications, builds trust with our customers, and protects end consumers. By proactively adapting to changes in legislation, we not only safeguard our reputation but also support our customers in navigating regulatory complexities with confidence.

Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

At Castor International, we prioritize the safety, quality, and reliability of our products. Regulatory compliance is integral to our mission of delivering best-in-class solutions to industries that rely on Castor oil and its derivatives. By staying ahead of regulatory changes, we reinforce our role as a trusted partner, ensuring that our products consistently meet the highest standards.
