Although the food packaging industry is familiar with customer and 3rd party audits, in recent years, the demand for GFSI benchmarked standards from their food processing clients is increasing and becoming an industry standard for food contact packaging manufacturers due to food processors moving forward with more robust supplier approval procedures as part of their GFSI benchmarked standards.
Moreover as a requirement of Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) food product manufacturers will be required to verify the food contact materials (such as packaging materials).
In the very near future, packaging material manufacturers that currently providing ‘letter of guarantee’ confirming compliance with the applicable regulation alone to the food industry to become ‘‘approved supplier” is not going to be sufficient.
