Munksjö’s Rottersac production site in France has been awarded ISO 22000:2005 certification by SGS for its Food Safety Management System.
A large proportion of the technical papers manufactured at the Rottersac mill include products for the food packaging industry. These packaging papers serve various end-use applications in the bakery, confectionery, fresh produce and dairy markets, including flexible packaging papers for take-away food, sweets, cheese and butter.
As part of the food packaging chain, Munksjö must ensure that its papers are safe for direct food contact. Achievement of ISO 22000:2005 certification by the Rottersac site demonstrates that the management system implemented complies with the most demanding food safety requirements and operates in accordance with best industry practices.
‘Ensuring maximum consumer safety is a primary concern at Munksjö. The Rottersac production site has implemented the HACCP method for effectively controlling food safety. Achievement of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety certification is in keeping with Munksjö’s commitment to follow the strictest Health and Safety standards for its employees, customers and suppliers,’ said Alexandra Venot, vice president of Flexible packaging.
Rottersac now has a complete quality, safety and sustainability framework certified according to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:2007, ISO 22000:2005, FSC and PEFC Chain-of-Custody standards.
