"FEDEMCO-GMP", new certification scheme of good practice in wood packaging
 |
FEDEMCO launches the "FEDEMCO-GMP" scheme, wich will allow certification on good manufacturing and hygiene practices to its member companies.
The system is the result of collaboration with Bureau Veritas and has been developed from the "FEDEMCO's Guide to Good Manufacturing and Hygiene Practices" published last year.
The scheme "FEDEMCO-GMP" is therefore created to evaluate and rate the performance on the management of food safety among manufacturers of wood packaging and their components in contact with food, according to the requirements of the Guide.
