International Paper Takes Extra Step to Safeguard Products
International Paper announced this week that its U.S. corrugated packaging container plants servicing food product customers will become Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certified as measured against the International Featured Standards (IFS) PACsecure Standard.
The IFS PACsecure Standard––a collaboration between IFS Management and The Packaging Consortium (PAC)––was developed with input from more than 130 food processors and packaging material converters to identify potential hazards associated with common packaging manufacturing processes. In addition to being GFSI certified, PACsecure has been accepted by the U.S.-based Food Safety Alliance for Packaging, which includes many companies seen as leaders in the food packaging industry.
