Food-grade big bags for milk powder and whey powder: moisture and oxygen barrier liners, hygienic production, BRC IoP AA certified facility in Turkey.

What to consider for milk powder
- Moisture: Milk powder cakes when it absorbs moisture; a liner is in practice required for these products.
- Oxygen: For products sensitive to oxidation, such as whole milk powder, an oxygen-barrier liner (EVOH or aluminium) is preferred.
- Hygiene: Big bags for dairy ingredients should be produced in a hygiene-controlled environment dedicated to food-grade products.
- Documents: The conditions of use stated in the declaration of compliance (food type, time, temperature) must match your product.
