All of our standard adhesives are FDA approved for indirect food contact because they use FDA-compliant* adhesives that are safe for indirect food contact. They are suitable for food and beverage labeling applications where the label is separated from the food by a functional barrier such as glass. Please note: This regulation does not mention temperature restrictions, however, Avery recommends that its adhesives should be kept at room temperature or below to be considered food safe. Adhesives exposed to conditions hotter than room temperature may require further migration testing to determine if they are suitable for the application.
Please note: Avery PermaTrack asset tag labels are the only Avery labels that do not have FDA-compliant adhesives.
If you have a custom application with special requirements, please call our Consumer Care Center at (800) 942-8379 at or email us at solutions@avery.com for assistance.
