Forvara Non-PVC Foodservice Films - The Secret Ingredient is Safety
A. Unique Formulation and Innovation in Process:
Manufactured from proprietary process innovation and using select food-grade Polyethylene resins, these migration-free films offer similar characteristics as PVC based foodservice films like Tackiness (Cling), Transparency, and softness.
B. Tasteless and Odorless:
Forvara Foodservice films are tailored to be tasteless or odorless which helps in maintaining the original aroma and flavors of the food preparation being wrapped.
C. Health-Safe:
These films are migration-free and do not contain any plasticizers (like BPA, BPS, Phthalates), stabilizers (like Lead, Mercury), PFAS or any other chemicals harmful to human health.
D. Microwave safe and Freezer Safe
These films are Microwave-safe and freezer-safe. The film does not release toxic substances into wrapped food when heated.
E. Food Contact Compliances:
Forvara Foodservice films are food contact safe and meet the latest food contact regulations as per FDA – 21 CFR 177.1520 and food contact regulations as per EU directive no. 10/2011 (Ref. 2002/72/EEC). These films are manufactured from DAR Kosher approved raw-material, no cross-contamination with non-kosher products.
