Incentive

Product safety within the value added chain in the food production industry is becoming more and more important and is an essential component in the standards demanded by customers of the manufacturers of food packaging. Manufacturers of food packaging who introduce the standard and then go through the certification process receive support with the necessary measures to ensure product safety, quality and legal conformity. The duty of care is fulfilled by running an efficient hygiene management system and adhering to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This results in the control of contamination risks and a reliable supply of safe packaging for food products.
