FDA Certification


FDA/IMS CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME FOR PACKAGING MANUFACTURERS

FDA standards are considered the most comprehensive in the world with regard to manufacturing of food packaging materials under hygienic conditions.

Transformers who want confirmation that they comply with the strictest standards in the world request the performance of a thorough audit according to the health and hygiene standards of the FDA entitled “STANDARDS FOR THE FABRICATION OF SINGLE-SERVICE CONTAINERS AND CLOSURES FOR MILK PRODUCTS.” When this audit has been passed, they are included on the “IMS List–Sanitation Compliance and Enforcement Ratings of Interstate Milk Shippers”.

COEXPAN-NET’s quality systems incorporate the FDA’s demanding health and hygiene standards and, in June 1999, COEXPAN and EMSUR are the first companies in the packing and packaging sector in Spain that were included in the IMS Ratings.

The standards are revised and updated every few years and, after inclusion on the IMS list, audits are carried out annually.
