Food Contact Packaging Letter of Guarantee Example

Dear all, I would like to ask our suppliers to give us a letter of guarantee for primary food contact packaging with references to the regulations. Does anyone have a template they can share with me?   These are foreign suppliers so I would like to provide them with a roadmap.  Thanks, Renee  

I have this one from our US suppliers - please, see attached for your reference, hope this would help a bit

Both Sample LOG's from post #2 and post #6 are much more detailed then anything I have from suppliers, which have been SQF accepted for years.  

Would you be able to share a redacted version of what your current suppliers provide?   

Know that there is a lot of legal CYA in these in the US. :lol:

Here's a simpler one from our food-contact packaging supplier.

It also depends on if you are a USDA facility which means that the letter must comply with 9 CFR 317.24(b) also if you put the wording continual guarantee. You won't need a new one every year.
