Question

Is the instrument FDA approved ?

Answer

YES… The instrument was submitted to FDA by a previous distributor in the USA for approval for use in Meat Plants.  At that time, FDA were only interested in assuring that all parts of the Fatmeter that came into contact with food product was constructed of food grade materials. I don’t think that the criteria has changed since this was carried out in 1998.  We can confirm that all parts of the Fatmeter that comes in contact with food product is to food grade standard…Sensor constructed of food grade stainless steel… with food grade PTFE covering. Enclosure made from ABS Plastic.  The Meat Fatmeter is AQIS  accredited to Chemical Lean Standards (CL).
