The concept of\u00a0food safety<\/a>\u00a0establishes the right of every consumer to have access to safe, secure and nutritious food. It therefore refers to the ability of food producers to use different resources and strategies in order to ensure that all food is safe for consumption.<\/p>\n

Torrent Group, as a leading company specialising in closures for Extra Virgin Olive Oils, liquors and spirits bottling, understands its critical role in the food industry and works every day to improve the safety of its non-refillable stoppers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Food safety and the problem of counterfeiting.<\/h2>\n

The concept of food safety emerged in the 1970s.

In other words, food safety establishes and ensures that food does not pose a risk to people’s health.<\/p>\n

In this sense, the problem of counterfeiting liquors and spirits damages the health of millions of people throughout the planet annually: in countries like\u00a0 Colombia and\u00a0Mexico<\/a>, where Torrent has shown its firm commitment by building\u00a0distribution plants<\/a>, it is even estimated that more than 40% of the liquors for sale may be counterfeit.<\/p>\n

This guarantee that the original product will not be tampered with once it is on the market depends to a great extent on the closures used in bottling. Therefore, Torrent Closures renews its\u00a0commitment to seeking excellence<\/a>\u00a0in bottle closures in the food sector.<\/p>\n

Where do we see the commitment of Torrent Closures to food safety?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Food safety requires all actors in the production chain to work with suitable materials that do not modify the composition of the food at all. In addition, it requires the preparation of these in accordance with regulations and good manufacturing practices i<\/em>n such a way that, whatever the material used, it does not impact upon the quality of the food and, consequently, the health of the consumer.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0stoppers<\/a>\u00a0that come into contact with food must comply with all the provisions of Regulation (EC) no. 1935\/2004, which mainly requires four aspects:<\/p>\n
