Due to current events we publish here the CleanSmoke Newsletter April 2024 – the DG Santé will decide in April 2024 on the non-renewal of primary smoking products. A non-renewal means the end for the product- and environmentally friendly smoking process.
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.
Renewal of primary smoke products
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.
