Edible-grade marking.

Made from raw materials that meet food safety standards, this marking family can be used in directly consumed products and on food-contact surfaces. Known in the industry as an “edible marker”, it does not change the product's taste, smell, colour or texture.

What it solves

For a long time, marking was considered impossible for directly consumed products: every component added raised a separate food safety question.

So these product groups could only be protected through their packaging.

All the components used in the edible-grade layer meet food safety standards. The mark is carried inside the product; taste, smell, colour and texture do not change. Products whose packaging can be copied come within the scope of verification too.

Edible-grade

What does it deliver?

It brings product groups where marking could not be applied before within the scope of verification.

No risk to consumers

All components meet food safety standards; they remain in trace amounts and go unnoticed.

The product's character is preserved

Taste, smell, colour and texture stay as they are; the balance of your recipe is not disturbed.

The mark is tied to the product itself

Unlike a visual label that can easily be reproduced, the mark is carried inside the product.

How it is introduced

In three steps, without rebuilding your production flow.

  1. Added to the recipe

    The mark is added to the product's recipe or the contact layer at approved ratios.

  2. Checked in production

    Its presence and ratio are confirmed at a sampling point on the line.

  3. Documented

    A record for each batch is kept together with your food safety file.

Meeting request

The right method for your product comes from the product itself.

The first meeting reviews your product group, your production flow and the points where verification will take place, and recommends a marking or analysis method.
