Announcement of the start of sales for FDA-compliant non-fluorinated oil-resistant paper "O-hajiki(W) FDA CoC".
Oji Group Functional Materials Company
Eftax Co., Ltd. has launched a new product, "O-hajiki(W)FDA CoC," a non-fluorinated oil-resistant paper that considers the environment and health, compliant with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) standards. The new product "O-hajiki(W)FDA CoC" not only does not use fluorinated oil repellents but also meets the chemical composition and product safety standards set by the FDA, making it suitable for overseas expansion. This product also supports the issuance of documentation confirming compliance with FDA standards. *1 Conventional fluorinated oil repellents have used PFAS (a type of organic fluorine compound) for oil resistance and water repellency. Concerns about the impact of PFAS on human health have been reported in recent years, leading to movements to restrict its use in Europe and the United States. *2 The product complies with the usage conditions and food classifications outlined in U.S. FDA 21 C.F.R. §176.170 and §176.180, meeting all food classifications under usage conditions E (room temperature filling and storage) and H (frozen or refrigerated for reheating purposes).
