Food safety in the food industry is extremely essential. The main objective of food safety is to ensure that the consumers are protected from all possible food borne diseases and injuries that could occur to them.
At WayCool, along with quality, food safety is also taken very seriously. Our vision is to build an efficient, impactful and sustainable platform which is capable of handling 1% of the world’s food. That journey involves ensuring objective standards are implemented in terms of quality and food safety. Providing cleaner and better food products to customers has been an integral part of our vision. We practice it in all aspects of our work and our practice has been rewarded, with global recognition.
Recently, our integrated packing unit in Jigani, Bengaluru has been certified for FSSC (Food Safety System Certification) 22000 which is recognised by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) and is proof that the certification scheme meets the highest global standards of food safety.
FSSC 22000 provides a certification scheme that incorporates an in-depth hazard analysis in a robust food safety management system to control the food hazards, minimize risks and assure protection of safe packaging and packaging materials. The scheme uses international standards such as ISO 22000 for food safety management and ISO/TS 22002-4. This is a sector-specific prerequisite program for food packaging and packaging material alongside additional FSSC 22000 certification requirements. This certification ensures consistent, high quality audits monitored by an integrity program to measure and maintain performance to deliver safe packages and safe packaging.
The Food Safety System Certification 22000 comes with a lot of benefits. The certification provides a systematic methodology to effectively identify and manage food safety risks across the entire food supply chain. Also, since FSSC 22000 is recognised by Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA), it helps in facilitating internal benchmarking and management through consistent application across multiple sites. It also promotes the review of continual improvement of our food safety management system, which also helps generate confidence among our customers.
WayCool and its various business units always ensure that the customer requirements are met in the best way possible. Contract manufacturing is no different, upholding the best of the grading and packaging standards and striving to incorporate better systems as the journey continues towards excellence.
Customers, whether they are consumer brands, modern retail chains, e-tailers or food processors can rest assured that the products they provide to their consumers are undergoing a rigorous quality assurance process at WayCool’s contract manufacturing unit.
