The challenge of food safety and quality

We all expect food to be safe. And we all deserve food that is free from harmful bacteria. COVID-19 has further sparked the rise in concern about future global food supplies. Conflicts, weather extremes like flooding and droughts, and economic shocks are causing production issues, supply chain complications and other disruptions that leave food systems1 vulnerable. To ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to safe food, all players across the food value chain need to play their part.

Being in control of all production parameters to prevent contamination or compromised quality is vital to food safety. And that's why we focus on helping food manufacturers achieve high standards of safety and quality while remaining profitable.

As pioneers in aseptic technology and packaging, we have long helped to ensure food safety and quality throughout the entire supply chain. Our aseptic packaging protects food without the need for preservatives or refrigeration, making safe food available to more of the world’s growing population, even in remote areas.

We are also investing in chemical-free food processing technologies like eBeam, to further improve food quality and safety.
