FAQ
Do oil sprayers need FDA certification?
Yes, if sold in the US as food-contact products. Oil is a fatty food simulant under FDA protocols. Desikyspray provides FDA DoC documentation for all food-grade products.
What is the difference between LFGB and EU 10/2011?
LFGB (Germany) adds sensory testing: the food must not pick up odor, taste, or color from packaging. EU 10/2011 covers migration limits but not sensory properties. LFGB compliance is stricter and preferred by German retailers.
