Presenter
Joanna Griffiths
Packaging Compliance Specialist
Joanna shares practical insights into packaging safety, regulatory compliance, food contact materials, audit readiness, and emerging industry developments affecting food manufacturers and packaging suppliers.
Why This Matters
Packaging-related audit findings are rarely caused by a lack of effort.
More often, they emerge when documentation, supplier oversight, traceability, food contact material compliance, and operational controls are not fully aligned.
Understanding these risks before audit season begins can help Quality Managers improve preparedness, reduce compliance uncertainty, and strengthen confidence in packaging systems.
