FRANCE: BEL'S PACKAGING'S COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE
Article Abstract:
The French cheese group Fromageries Bel is proceeding in three stages in order to ensure that its packaging is compliant. The first stage involves following all of the changes in regulation or quality or safety standards, the second consists of asking packaging suppliers for a compliance certificate, (elimination of phtalate in ink and coatings for example) and the last stage consists of verifying the compliance of packaging with the requirements in the specifications sheets, which specify that compliance certificates must be renewed every 18 months. If a new material is used, tests and procedures will be carried out to approve it.
