We do not make the packaging;

We’re excited to announce that ProvisionGard®’s polymer pellet additives for food packaging have received a positive evaluation from How2Recycle, thanks to coordination help from Sonoco.

“The inclusion of IGRs in PE film at this low percentage has been deemed safe and does not impact the recyclability assessment of the packaging itself.”

We’re proud to continue our commitment to insect prevention packaging solutions and look forward to providing sustainable options for the food industry. #insectprevention #packagingsolutions

All polymers and coating ingredients in ProvisionGard® are approved for use in food and feed packaging pursuant to regulations in 21 CFR Parts 175-177.

ProvisionGard® IGR 30000 is registered by the US EPA (Registration Number 81390-2) as an end-use biopesticide product for the control of infestation and damage caused by insect larvae in packaged food or feed products. This component is used to manufacture our line of polymers and coatings under the ProvisionGard Brand name.

ProvisionGard® Branded coatings and polymers manufactured using the ProvisionGard® IGR 30000 as a component are not regulated EPA-labeled products, and the products they protect via packaging are not required to be labeled.

ProvisionGard®’s insect-inhibiting active is approved for direct application to many food/feed crops, and for use in food/feed processing facilities; it has been in use since 1975. Due to EPA regulation 40CFR Part 180.1033, residues are acceptable for all food/feed commodities. Based on a risk assessment, the EPA concluded that “there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to residues of IGR.” (Final Rule, Federal Register 68(112):34845-9, July 11, 2003)

Consequently, any residues in foods/feeds from its use would be of no concern to the EPA or FDA.

There are no additional risks associated with exposure to ProvisionGard® in the converting process compared to the standard water-based coatings and polymers. Follow label directions.

Cleanup procedures are in general no different for ProvisionGard® than for existing water-based coatings. Consult and follow the cleanup procedures described on the label or in the MSDS.
