Statement BÖLW on the CleanSmoke smoking process
This year’s participation of the CleanSmoke Coalition at Biofach was characterised by the regular renewal of primary smoke products by EFSA/DG Sante. Organic and conventional processors are clearly against a non-renewal of the product and environmentally friendly smoking process.
Details in the attached statement of the German Federation of the Organic Food Industry.

Purified primary smoke products are used in the CleanSmoke smoking process. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has recently recommended to the EU Commission that their authorisation should not be extended, due to a scientifically inadequate single substance analysis – this would mean the end of the product and environmentally friendly smoking process.
