Does Eastman offer a kosher-certified plasticizer for use in materials that have direct or indirect food contact?
Eastman DOA plasticizer, kosher, is offered to meet this need. A certifying agency has confirmed that the material is kosher. To achieve this certification, the manufacturer must supply a complete, detailed list of every ingredient in the product, including preservatives, release agents, stabilizers, or other inert ingredients. In addition, every step in the manufacturing process, every cleansing agent used on the equipment, and all other products produced on the same premises require close investigation and supervision. The manufacturer agrees to make no changes of ingredients or suppliers without prior written consent of the agency. The actual on-site inspector (mashgiach) will verify that the company is complying with the contract.
