BRCGS Packaging Materials

Consumers want assurance that the food products they buy are safe. Manufacturers want to be certain the packaging they use is functional, safe and will not harm or alter their food products.

What are the benefits of BRCGS Packaging Materials Certification?

Certification to this Global Food Standards Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety scheme will demonstrate to your customers the safety, quality, legality and integrity of the packaging materials you manufacture. It can be applied by any organization involved in the food supply chain.

It covers both contact and non-contact materials and products made from:

• Glass
• Paper
• Metal
• Plastics
• Other trade products

Certification shows your commitment by demonstrating compliance with the plans, programs and systems required within the standard, including:

• Step-by-step hazard management system to manage risk
• Senior management commitment to achieving the standard
• Quality management system (QMS) that details the organizational and managerial policies needed to provide a framework to achieve the standard
• Pre-requisite programs dealing with the basic environmental and operational conditions needed for the production of safe and hygienic packaging and controlling the generic hazards covered by good manufacturing and good hygiene practices.
