How to Guarantee Safe & Sanitary Food Packaging

You have a variety of packaging to choose from to store and transport food today. But with that flexibility comes significant risk. After all, improper and unsanitary food packaging can result in food adulteration and lost shelf time—and cause human health issues.

Learn to properly vet the packaging you choose in this instructive webinar from food safety expert John Ryan. The production and use of safe and sanitary food packaging requires the same controls as the food itself, he explains. In this session, Ryan delivers key insights into the systems you need to establish to guarantee safe and sanitary food packaging.

After attending, you will have thorough knowledge of recommended standards, pertinent laws, and increased-safety-risk practices to avoid. You’ll also be equipped to better evaluate packaging suppliers, choose the right solutions for your products, and maintain sanitized tools in your own facility. Don’t let poor packaging standards be the reason your operation makes headlines.
