RPA to establish new standards for reusables in food supply chain

摘要

The reusable packaging Association has established a new industry-wide committee to establish sanitation standards and guidelines for reusable containers used throughout the food supply chain. The RPC Food Safety Standards Committee will include membership and input from providers of reusable plastic containers (RPCs), retailers, growers and shippers. "The reusables industry already has rigorous cleaning and testing protocols that meet or exceed accepted standards, and these have proven to be highly effective," said Paul Pederson, director of food safety and compliance for IFCO Systems and committee chair.
