In the food industry, ensuring packaging safety and quality is critical for compliance with regulatory standards and building consumer trust. At ViskoTeepak, we have implemented three key standards: BRC Packaging, FSSC 22000 Packaging, and SQF Packaging, each offering a robust framework for managing safety and quality.
FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification) is an international standard that certifies food safety management systems, including those of packaging manufacturers. It is based on ISO standards, making it flexible and easily integrated with other management systems like ISO 9001. This standard helps companies meet regulatory and customer requirements while allowing for tailored management systems.
The BRC Packaging standard, developed by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), is globally recognized for ensuring the safety and quality of food packaging. It focuses on rigorous control of production processes, hygiene, and quality management. Regular external audits are crucial in maintaining stringent process control. ViskoTeepak Delfzijl recently renewed its BRC certificate, achieving an A-status, underscoring our commitment to excellence.
SQF (Safe Quality Food) Packaging is a comprehensive management system combining food safety and quality management, particularly popular in North America. Recognized by major retailers, it offers a robust framework for companies focusing on the American market, ensuring both safety and quality compliance.
The choice between BRC Packaging, FSSC 22000 Packaging, and SQF Packaging depends on a company’s needs. BRC Packaging is suitable for those requiring detailed control over production, FSSC 22000 offers flexibility and integration with ISO standards, and SQF Packaging is ideal for combining quality with safety, especially in the North American market.
At ViskoTeepak, our shared values and commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement drive us to meet the high expectations of our customers across all our operations. Implementing these globally recognized standards ensures compliance, enhances customer trust, and supports operational efficiency, solidifying our leadership in packaging safety and quality management.
