Food producers across the Benelux region are under growing pressure to meet strict MOSH/MOAH regulations. Here are the five questions we hear most often.
At Klüber Lubrication, we go beyond compliance, helping you eliminate contamination risks, protect your brand, and optimise your operations.
The Netherlands enforces temporary MOAH limits based on fat content, aligned with the upcoming EU Regulation (EU) 2023/915:
These thresholds are already monitored by the NVWA. Exceeding them can lead to product recalls or market withdrawal.
Lubricants must be NSF H1-registered and ISO 21469-certified, but certification alone isn’t enough. Klüber supports you with product selection tailored to your process, technical data on MOSH/MOAH migration potential, and documentation for audits and inspections.
Contamination most often originates from recycled packaging (inks, adhesives), non-food-grade lubricants, inadequate maintenance practices, and cross-contamination during storage or transport.
We help you identify and eliminate these risks through a structured lubrication strategy.
False positives can result from poor sampling or interference from natural hydrocarbons.
Klüber works with accredited labs and provides guidance on clean sampling protocols, validated testing methods (e.g., LC-GC-FID, GCxGC-MS), and interpretation of borderline results. ► Learn more
