Food regulatory complianceis a top priority for food manufacturers.Food regulations require that: • All raw materials used are

constantly monitored• Traceability along the production

process is ensured• National and international net con-

tent legislation must be fulfilled • Diligent testing is necessary to

prove that no physical, chemical or biological foreign bodies have contaminated the product

METTLER TOLEDO solutions, com-pliant with the latest hygienicdesign guidelines, help to producesafe food and meet the regulations.

Meet your business goals with cutting-edge weighing technology

Are your customers demanding greater product variety than ever before?Are you faced with cost pressure, production uptime issues and newregulations? METTLER TOLEDO has the right solutions and services to helpyou meet cost, quality, flexibility and regulatory challenges – from rawmaterial to final shipment.

Food qualityConsistent taste, freshness andappearance of food products areessential to guarantee customersatisfaction. Food manufacturersneed to ensure consistent quality,regardless of where the product ismanufactured or distributed. Moni-toring and analyzing all relevantquality parameters is essential toimmediately react in case of a

deviation. Accurate and repetitiverecipe/formulation of flavors andadditives helps to avoid bad batches.

Qualified weighing with METTLERTOLEDO – from a microgram up tohundreds of tons – supports im-proved, documented quality manu-facturing, to keep your customerssatisfied and to protect the value ofyour brand.

Food regulatory complianceHow to profit from food legislationAt first sight food and beverages legislation and standards seem to involvehuge costs, but a closer look reveals that they open up enormous benefits.

TraceabilityThe government and consumers areincreasingly concerned about safefood. For example, if contaminatedraw materials are received, identifi-cation of all sourced components isfundamental to ensure fast productrecall, limiting damage to your rep-utation. Let us help establish reliabletraceability data with scales asidentification points for data collec-tion and for clear labeling of allgoods.� www.mt.com/traceability

Calibration and maintenanceEquipment critical to product safety,legality and quality must be periodi-cally maintained and verified. Thisconfirms results and regulatory com-pliance through certified accuracy,while dramatically increasing equip-ment uptime. You will get industrystandard calibration services, pre-ventative maintenance, conformity toGMP and net weight legislation, andpriority service response – peace-of-mind – with our service programs.� www.mt.com/service
