Quality and food safety are of crucial importance for you as a company manufacturing packaging for the food industry. Purchasers of your products require you to offer guarantees of your firm commitment to quality and food safety. Are you able to provide these guarantees and are they accepted worldwide? Is this confirmed by an independent third party?
As part of the audit trail for BRC IoP, the Vinçotte auditor is required to assess your company's ability to meet the conditions specified in the BRC IoP standard. Under this heading, an examination is made of the quality system and HACCP system, along with your ability in practice to deliver products that are in line with your customers' specifications in terms of hygiene and suitable manufacturing practices.
