In an increasingly regulated global market, food packaging manufacturers face the challenges of ensuring compliance with diverse food contact legislation. The complexities of regulatory frameworks, coupled with the evolving landscape of sustainability and consumer safety, present significant risks and opportunities for the industry.
This whitepaper outlines the critical role of the PackSafe Compliance Standard (PCS), developed by FoodChainID, in addressing these challenges. PCS is a structured, auditable framework designed to ensure regulatory compliance for food contact materials (FCMs) by integrating legal requirements into quality management systems. Unlike generic quality standards, PCS specifically targets the unique compliance needs of the food packaging sector, offering a tailored methodology for identifying applicable laws, managing compliance documentation, and controlling risks throughout the supply chain.
