What is the Homologation of a raw material?

The homologation of a raw material in the food industry refers to the process of recognize the allergens involved and the suitability of that PM for the final product. To do this, the supplier’s technical data sheet should be checked.

Once a raw material has been approved, it is considered suitable for use in food production and can be used by manufacturers in a safe and reliable manner. Approval is an important process to ensure the quality and safety of the food that reaches the market and to protect the health of consumers.
