Hygiene
A high standard of hygiene is an important and natural element in our quality assurance. Hygiene is a very important action area, which we have worked with intensively since the end of the 90’s.

In compliance with the high levels of hygiene required by food production, we work according to the English BRC/IoP standard. The standard states hygiene requirements in connection with the production of packaging for food products. The standard comprises the English retailers’ requirements for best practise with respect to hygiene in relation to packaging for food products. We are currentley introducing the standard throughout our entire production.

Glud and Marstrands plants in Hedensted, manufacuring decorative tins for cookies and confectionary, and in Odense, manufacturing cans for milk powder, food cans etc., are approved according to BRC/IoP for Packaging.
The requirements relating to the high level of hygiene are part of our quality assurance, and the standards are continuously incorporated.

The requirements in BRC/IoP standard are also being introduced in our facility in Løsning. The demands are described in Glud & Marstrand’s GHP (Good Hygiene Practise), which covers hygiene issues related to
  • Buildings and outside areas
  • The production flow
  • Equipment maintenance
  • Tidiness and cleaning
  • Waste handling
  • Dressing and personal hygiene
  • Pollution control
  • Transport and distribution
  • Access control and freedom of movement
  • Pest control
