It is important that the intended purpose of the food packaging are understood.
ISO/TS 22002-4 has been developed to be used with ISO 22000, giving all food packaging manufacturing organizations seeking GFSI recognized certification to FSSC 22000 assessment against ISO/TS 22002-4 in addition to ISO 22000.
ISO/TS 22002-4 Certification
Overview
Inadequate or poorly designed food packaging that is not appropriate for intended use causes potential food safety risks. It is important that the intended purpose of the food packaging are understood. In this way, any food safety risks can be identified and help shape the design of any packaging.
What are the benefits?
Now, requirements for packaging design have been included within a new publicly available specification, ISO/TS 22002-4 (formerly PAS 223) - Prerequisite programs (PRPs) and design requirements for food safety in the manufacture and provision of food packaging. The specification is aimed at food packaging manufacturing organizations needing to meet the requirements of PRPs as specified in ISO 22000, the key global standard for food safety.
Need help with this standard?
This specification gives requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining PRPs and design requirements to help in identifying and controlling food safety hazards in the manufacture of food packaging.
Applicable to all food packaging manufacturing organizations, regardless of size or complexity of operations, it is expected that ISO/TS 22002-4 will be quickly adopted by the industry as a further safeguard in the food supply chain.
