The FSSC 22000 Advantage for Food Contact Packaging
Snell is pleased to be one of the first warehousing companies in New Zealand to hold FSSC 22000. As a stringent and internationally recognised food safety certification, it ensures the safety of food contact products, such as flexible packaging pouches. At its inception, the standard now known as FSSC 22000 was based on key requirements for global food manufacturing giants, such as Coca-Cola, Nestle, Heinz and others. By ensuring their suppliers met a singlar standard, the organisations could have confidence in the quality of their products in market.
By holding FSSC 22000, our flexible packaging is protected by a strict food safety management system. This reduces the risk of contamination, product recalls and compliance issues which can impact your products. As a result, Snell customers can be assured that the best practices are implemented to keep their packaging safe.
At Snell, we mitigate risk for our customers by only partnering with top tier suppliers who are able to consistently meet both FSSC 22000-related standards and Snell's own expectations around Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).
As many of our customers' products are available on supermarket shelves, market access is determined by your level of both FSSC 22000 and ESG compliance. There is also a risk by association with businesses being judged by who they choose to partner with. As both businesses and end consumers become increasingly savvy as to the origins of both the product itself and the packaging it's contained within, risk mitigation and compliance is critical at every stage of the supply chain.
