Product catalog summary
Introduction
CRC Industries focuses on addressing challenges in the food industry supply chain, particularly in maintenance chemicals. They emphasize continuous improvement in line with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) schemes such as BRC, SQF, and FSSC 22000. The StopLight™ Food Safety Program is introduced to simplify food processing complexities.
StopLight™ Food Safety Program
This program uses a visual labeling system with color-coded stickers on Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) chemicals to determine product usage, user eligibility, and storage locations. It is adaptable to various company needs within the food supply chain, categorizing products as Red (most restrictions), Yellow (caution), or Green (flexibility).
Program Benefits
The program aims to reduce product usage, ensure compliance with food industry regulations, and provide training for maintenance staff. All chemicals are NSF-Registered, aiding in risk reduction and enhancing food safety. The program supports audit improvements and aligns with GFSI schemes in North America.
NSF/USDA Classifications
CRC products are classified under various NSF category codes, indicating their suitability for different applications in food processing environments, including:
  • A1: General cleaning agents.
  • C1: Cleaners/degreasers for inedible areas.
  • H1: Lubricants with incidental food contact.
  • H2: Lubricants with no food contact.
  • K1: Solvent cleaners for non-processing areas.
  • K2: Solvents for electronic devices.
  • P1: General use in official establishments.
Transition from USDA to NSF
The USDA's role in non-food compound classification ended in 1998, with NSF taking over in 1999. NSF provides a registration and listing program, ensuring products meet safety standards. CRC supports NSF's efforts and ensures their products are NSF certified.
Conclusion
CRC continues to innovate in the food and beverage industry, maintaining high standards of quality and compliance. Their products are designed to meet NSF standards, ensuring safety and reliability in food processing environments.
