Product Safety in the Packaging Workshop (Operators)

A half day for operators in workshops that make, print or convert packaging intended for food. They learn why packaging can make food unsafe or mislead the consumer, and which actions prevent it: hygiene, foreign bodies, blades, inks and odours, line clearance, nonconforming products, traceability. The session takes place beside the machines, in Darija or French.

Frequently asked questions

Which workshops are concerned?

Sites that produce packaging for the food industry: printing, extrusion, thermoforming, die-cutting, converting of board, plastic or metal. Examples are adapted to your processes.

Why insist on line clearance?

Packaging printed with the wrong text can lead to a recall, for example when an allergen is missing from the label. Line clearance at changeover is the first protection against this risk.

Does it meet the expectations of BRCGS Packaging Materials or IFS PACsecure?

It covers the hygiene and product safety training that these standards expect for production personnel. The evidence supplied, attendance sheet, test and certificates, is designed for the audit file.
