Less than a year after the Food Safety Alliance for Packaging was formed as a division of the loPP, it's encouraging to see that there is progress to report where FSAP's goals are concerned. As you may recall, FSAP was formed partly because more and more food manufacturers were beginning to wish that their packaging materials providers had something resembling a HACCP plan in place. HACCP, of course, stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points, which is a systematic way to guard against the possibility of hazards in food plants that could pose a threat to public health. HACCP is pretty well established by now among food companies, and there's even talk of emerging legislation that might make it more than a voluntary initiative for those companies.
