MOSH/MOAH: The Hidden Contaminants Still Threatening Food Safety

Despite growing awareness, MOSH/MOAH contamination continues to challenge food manufacturers across the Benelux region. Why does this issue persist? Because the sources of contamination are often overlooked: maintenance lubricants, packaging materials, and even harvesting equipment can all contribute to the problem. And while standard testing methods are useful, they may not detect early-stage contamination. This allows risks to accumulate silently, potentially compromising product integrity and consumer trust.

At Klüber, we understand the complexity of your operations. That’s why we’ve developed a five-step methodology to help you identify and eliminate hidden contamination risks before they become costly problems. Our approach begins with a comprehensive site assessment, where we work closely with your team to uncover potential weak points. From there, we guide you through targeted lubricant transitions and process optimisations that align with your production needs.

Our certified food-grade lubricants are formulated without MOSH and MOAH, helping you meet regulatory requirements while protecting your brand. But we don’t stop at compliance. We support you in building a robust contamination prevention strategy, one that’s tailored, proactive, and future-proof.

Together, we can turn risk into opportunity. By addressing contamination at its root, you not only safeguard your products but also strengthen your reputation as a responsible and forward-thinking manufacturer.

So, ask yourself: Are you confident in your current contamination controls? Or is it time for a fresh perspective?

Let’s take the next step, together.
