Some of you have already noticed that on our website there’s a special section called “map and gas flushy machinery”, but what is it exactly?
The term “MAP” means a particular way of preserving the products, creating a different atmosphere inside the pack than the one outside the bag.
How does it works?
It reduces the air inside the pack and substitutes it with natural gases or other gases.
If you want to pack pancakes or muffins, you certainly require an alcohol nebulizer and then a system that can wash your product. However, it’s important to consider that each type of product has its own duration, so if you add a long-range gas, it can last also around 15 days.
Sometimes is better to use some types of machines that don’t rotate, for some products, because the mold could enter in the pack.
What does the EU-regulation says?
The EU regulation n. 1169/11 establishes some criteria to be respected when you sell food products, what is the mandatory information that must be printed or put on the packs:
– denomination of the food
– all the ingredients that are contained in the product
– ingredients that can provoke intolerances or hypersensitivity and the quantity
– the expiry date and how you must preserve the product
– the instructions
– nutritional declaration
And so on…
So a strict regulations; moreover you have to be careful with the mold regulations because they can be dangerous for our safety and if a customer feels ill could sue your firm for damages to health and you must pay a high compensation.
And as if that were not enough, your products will be signalized to the EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, which evaluates many different aspects of the food, such as additives, contaminations, biological dangers, the health of plants and animals and so on and it transmits what are the announcements and communications followed to a risk evaluation.
