4 STOP LIGHT PROGRAM The CRC Stop Light Program makes it easy to identify the compliance level of the CRC range of Food Grade products. The benefits of this include: Proper product usage; Low risk and cost; Ensurance of regulatory compliance. MORE FLEXIBILITY CAUTION REQUIRED RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE May be used in and around food processing areas Permitted to be used during processing of food to lubricate moving parts or equipment Only sufficient lubricant is to be used to achieve the desired effect This may be used in edible areas Before use, all edible product must be removed from the room No edible product is permitted in the room until all treated surfaces have been adequately protected with an approved coating This may NOT be used in edible areas This may only be used in non-food areas This compound must not be used in a manner that prevents the perfume invading any edible areas NSF REPLACES USDA CERTIFICATION PROCESS HOW DO YOU KNOW A PRODUCT IS FOOD-GRADE? For nearly a hundred years, the USDA stamp has been the universal assurance of safety and quality in the foodprocessing industry. Historically, the USDA required meat and poultry facilities to use only non-food compounds and proprietary substances that has been reviewed under the USDA authorisation program. However, in 1998 the USDA changed its approach and discontinued their role in classifying and authorizing the use of non-food compounds. In December of 1999, the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), a not-for-profit, third party product certifier specializing in public health and safety, revived the USDA authorization program with the launch of their own Registration and Listing Program for Proprietary Substances and Non-Food Compounds. The fee-based NSF program mirrors the prior USDA program evaluation for all product categories. The one difference being, once a product has successfully gone through the NSF approval process, it receives a registration number. That number, along with the registration mark and category code, is listed on the label of the NSF registered product. In addition, NSF Registration Letters are available for all CRC registered products. CONTINUING A PATTERN OF EXCELLENCE CRC has been providing innovative solutions to the ever-changing food and beverage industry through revolutionary technology and products of superior quality for more than 40 years. We support the efforts of the NSF to provide food product producers with maintenance products that are certified to be safe. While the NSF is not the only organization that certifies products for the food industry, we feel it is the best replacement for the USDA seal. Since they charge a fee for their service, some manufactures may choose not to use them. However, the universal acceptance of the NSF seal by government inspectors has become and will continue to be a value to our customers. It is important to understand that CRC products authorized by the USDA before 1999 can still carry the USDA registration. CRC products introduced after January 1999 are subject to the NSF authorization process and upon approval, will carry the new NSF registration. So, either registration is your assurance of compliance. The following pages contain CRC products (aqueous cleaners, heavy duty degreasers, precision cleaners, and lubricants) that are suitable for use in federally inspected food processing and handling plants. For your convenience, our catalogue is designed to clearly indicate the NSF/USDA category code for each product by placing a colour-coded rating next to the product name. All NSF/USDA category code descriptions and corresponding colour codes are found on page 3. Refer to these code descriptions to insure your facility is using the appropriate CRC food grade maintenance chemical products throughout your facility. 2
