Caraustar Industries, Atlanta, Ga., USA, this week reported that its Grand Rapids Carton Plant in Grand Rapids, Mich., has been certified as a Safe, Quality Food (SQF) 2000 Code Level 3 facility, meeting the requirements for the Safe Quality Food Institute's (SQFI) Comprehensive Food Safety and Quality Management Systems. The SQF 2000 Certification covers sector 27 food categories and the manufacture of both printed and unprinted paperboard cartons for direct fill, non-direct fill, flat packed, or side seam glued packaging.
The SQF Program is designed to meet the needs of retailers and suppliers worldwide. It provides independent certification that a supplier's food safety and quality management system complies with international and domestic food safety regulations. This enables suppliers to assure customers that food has been produced, processed, prepared and handled according to the highest possible standards, at all levels of the supply chain. SQF is designed as a food safety program, but it also covers product quality, assuring consistent quality and meeting buyers
Caraustar serves the four principal recycled boxboard product end-use markets: tubes and cores, folding cartons, gypsum facing paper, and specialty paperboard products.
