11 Henkel s Food Safe Packaging Initiative Adhesive expertise along the value chain Sharing adhesive expertise right from development phase of packaging using safe materials, through to running safe processes during packaging operations to ultimately having the right documentation to prove safety to customers. 11

12 Henkel s Food Safe Packaging Initiative Supporting you to Use safe materials Run safe processes Prove your safety Henkel food safe portfolio Henkel on-site services Henkel equipment offering Henkel off-site consulting services Henkel Food Contact Statement Henkel Analytical services are an accredited institute Henkel Triple Food Safety Evaluation Competence 12

13 Prove your safety Triple Safety Evaluation Competence To confirm that adhesives for food contact applications are risk free, Henkel has the unique in-house competence of triple food safety evaluation. Henkel has the unique capability to involve its Scientific Services, Corporate Analytics and Toxicology, to verify and extend supplier-provided information. 13

14 Food Safe AI Supplier Information Assessment Supplier information TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Toxicological In order to ensure safety of food packaging adhesives, Henkel has implemented a strict raw material selection process. The basis is our supplier questionnaire. Among others, the questionnaire requires Compliance with food contact criteria a clear commitment of the supplier with respect to maximum concentration levels of components & NIAS a clear commitment of the supplier to promptly notify Henkel about any change in the provided information before the change occurs and as soon as any new information about the product is known 14

15 Food Safe AI Supplier Information Assessment Supplier information TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Toxicological Reasons to investigate Raw Materials Understand Identify Set and Monitor Expertise raw materials and production processes impurities and by-products specifications Allows to identify substances quickly 15

16 Food Safe AI Analytical Assessment Supplier information TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Toxicological We have an accredited analytical in-house department that offers an array of services that match the quality and depth of leading European analytical institutes. Raw material level Final product level Determination of Additives / residual solvents Specific migration limits (SML) Determination of residual monomers Overall migration limit (OML) Screening procedures for NIAS (Not Intentionally Added Substances) 16

17 Food Safe AI Toxicological Assessment Supplier information TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Toxicological Analytical s are not always sufficient for defining if all food safety risks are eliminated. Henkel s food safety evaluation competence comprises also toxicological s of raw materials and final adhesive formulations. They can be performed in 2 ways: based on information obtained via Henkel s supplier questionnaire in case information from the supplier questionnaire is not sufficient for a complete, the market unique toxicology department at Henkel steps in to ensure that safety for food applications is provided 17

18 Food Safety & Adhesive Design In Depth Food Safety Studies Supplier information TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Toxicological Examples of Henkel studies» Migration modelling of PET bottles» Allergenic potential in natural latex cold seals» Detailed risk of migratable cyclic esters We are committed to continuous improvement of the risk of all our products! 18

20 Food safety along the value chain OEM s Raw materials Packaging Production Consumer Goods Producers Retail Collaboration and Partnership throughout the value chain is key. Stephen Klump, Nestle, Global Head of Packaging Quality and Safety 20

21 Food Safety & Adhesive Unique information for our customers Supplier information Detailed explanation of the legal framework and in relation it stands to adhesives Worst case calculation provided wherever possible to allow customers to avoid testing Clear assignment of responsibilities between Henkel and its customers (e.g. migration testing, organoleptic properties) Detailed information on NIAS, incl. maximum amounts TRIPLE safety evaluation Analytical Henkel s Food Contact Statement is the most comprehensive document proving safety of adhesives: Toxicological Sister document: General absence statements with information about the most common substances of concern (heavy metals, allergens, mineral oil, ) 21

22 Conclusions Food safety has become a must to protect customers health and brand equity Customers requirements need to be taken into account from the start Collaboration along the entire supply chain is essential to ensure a safe finished product Henkel can support you and your customers every steps of the way 22
