Frequently asked questions

Are flexible sacks, bulk bags or pouches in direct contact with food or feed subject to the target?

421 questions from 58 articles available in English.

No, in our reading of Article 29, paragraph 4, which excludes flexible formats used for transport and in direct contact with food or feed as defined in Regulation (EC) No 178/2002. This regulation defines feed without limiting it to livestock: pet food is therefore covered in principle. The pallet and film carrying these bags remain subject to the target on the same flow. An exclusion needs documentation: retain evidence of this direct contact in the packaging's technical documentation, as with any exemption claimed in your declaration of conformity.
