Table of Contents - Continental Carbonic

To Our Valued Customer During the past few years we have been asked many a time to respond to customers questionnaires, quality forms, and other related requests for information. In time we had collected a large number of these requests and responded in kind. As our business has evolved the process to assimilate and respond to these questionnaires has become tedious. As a course of action to help recover the cost associated with this, we began requiring our customers to pay for such requests. Regarding that business action, we took it upon ourselves to help and respond with a detailed packet of information that we have found to be asked most frequently. Our hope is that this package of information answers all of your company’s needs. As a supplier of Dry Ice, we want to continue on focusing on our customers utilization of our products better. When we are requested to respond to the information requests, it unavoidable removes our staff from the manufacturing and quality process. We respectfully request that the detailed amount of information enclosed satisfy any of your internal needs. If they do not and there are additional requests required, please be aware there is a fee associated for gathering them. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Continental will continue adding more data as we see fit. As always, thank for your business. Very truly yours,

CERTIFIED BY: Andrew Gregory, VP Production DATE: 01-01-21This annual certificate is good for a period of one (1) year.

To whom it may concern:

The pelletized dry ice our company produces is made with food grade liquid carbon

dioxide with no additives. Dry ice is considered Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)

by the FDA under FDA 21CFR184.1240. Continental Carbonic meets or exceeds federal

requirements set forth under the U.S. FDA 21CFR184.1240 Carbon Dioxide and the

FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), specifically 21CFR117. Continental

Carbonic supports our food safety program through the utilization of a Food Safety Plan,

supporting pre-requisite programs and annual 3rd party GFSI based audits. Primary

elements of the Food Safety Management System include the following:

Prerequisite Programs: Documented prerequisite programs covering material receiving,

pest control, food defense, sanitation, and safe product handling during production,

storage and distribution.

Recall & Traceability: Procedures for the effective retrieval of product including

contact information for responsible parties, requirements for tracing ingredients,

packaging and finished product one-step forward and one-step back.

Allergen Control: Allergens are not present in the manufacturing/processing of dry ice.

An awareness program addressing regulated allergens and ingredients is maintained to

address personnel practices and housekeeping.

The finished liquid carbon dioxide produced by our company and used to produce our

food grade dry ice is tested using specifications and procedures established by the

Compressed Gas Association (CGA) in its Commodity Specification for Carbon Dioxide

CGA G-6.2—2011.

This letter will serve as the Continuing Letter of Guarantee for all pelletized dry ice

unless otherwise notified by supplier, effective January 1, 2021 through December 31,

2021.

not in violation of or adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of any State or

Municipal Act, the provisions which are identical or substantially the same as those in

federal act referenced above.

We certify only that any solid carbon dioxide (dry ice block) supplied which is

represented as containing no additives other than a food grade binding agent does not, to

the best of our knowledge and belief, contain any additive other than the food grade

binding agent, and that any solid carbon dioxide (dry ice block) so represented shall only

be of standard commercial quality.

SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. SELLER DOES NOT

WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT THE DRY ICE SOLD IS FIT FOR ANY

PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR IS MERCHANTABLE.

intentional misuse of dry ice may be harmful or fatal.

DRY ICE SAFETY Safe Handling of dry ice

COULD CAUSE SUFFOCATIONDry ice changes to CO2 gas as it sublimates, causing a lack of oxygen. Only use dry ice in open or well-ventilated areas. Do not store in confined spaces such as vehicles or garages and never store near an area where people sleep as suffocation could occur.

DO NOT TOUCHDry ice is a skin and eye irritant. Avoid contact with skin, mouth, eyes and clothing. Dry ice will cause severe burns.

DO NOT EATDry ice is harmful if eaten or swallowed. If ingested, seek medical help immediately.

DO NOT PLACE IN AIRTIGHT CONTAINERSAirtight containers may explode as dry ice converts to CO2 gas.
