Saica Pack’s Thrapston site receives High Hygiene BRC certification

From:Packaging News

Saica Pack has received the High Hygiene certificate from the BRC Global Standard for Packaging for its Thrapston site.

The plant manufactures a wide range of corrugated products for brands across the food supply chain.

The High Hygiene standard’s key aim is to protect the consumer by providing a framework to assist packaging manufacturers to produce safe packaging materials and manage product quality.

In order to successfully complete the assessment, Saica Pack installed a series of additional safeguards, ranging from extra sanitisation areas for employees working in direct contact with packaging as well as a laundering service for staff workwear. It has also conducted a risk assessment of any potential contaminants across the manufacturing facility and increased external contractor controls.

Allan Foakes, South East Regional Director, Saica Pack, said: “We were already BRC Basic Hygiene accredited but are keen to drive continual improvement. As a manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging products for clients across the food supply chain, we are keen to ensure we are working to best practice guidelines for the benefit of all.”

A pilot will now be rolled out at additional Saica Pack manufacturing plants.
