Safety starts with the packaging
The safety of a food product is determined not only by the product itself, but also by the packaging. Packaging materials can affect food safety and are an important part of the chain.
Because consumers cannot determine the presence of harmful substances themselves, strict requirements apply. Past incidents and recalls show how big the impact of packaging can be.
Stringent requirements and full traceability
Food producers place high demands on packaging materials. These must not only comply with laws and regulations, but also be fully traceable.
Traceability is essential to be able to act quickly in case of deviations, recall products and provide clarity towards consumers and chain partners.
Food safety systems and certification
We support packaging companies in setting up, improving and securing food safety systems. In doing so, we ensure that processes comply with all applicable requirements and relevant standards.
An important standard within the sector is the BRC Packaging and Packaging Materials standard (BRC-IoP), developed specifically for producers of food packaging materials.
Insight with testing and analysis
Specific requirements apply to plastic packaging, laid down in Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011. Migration tests determine whether substances pass from the packaging to the foodstuff. Our laboratories perform these analyses and provide insight into the safety and compliance of your packaging.
Packaging as part of the experience
In addition to safety, packaging plays an important role in consumer perception. It is often the first moment of contact with your product and influences expectations and buying behavior. Packaging research gives you insight into how your packaging is perceived and where opportunities for improvement exist.
