Munksjö site in Rottersac, France receives ISO 22000 Food Safety certification

A large proportion of the technical papers manufactured at the Rottersac mill include products for the food packaging industry. These packaging papers serve various end-use applications in the bakery, confectionery, fresh produce and dairy markets. Examples include baking papers and flexible packaging papers for take-away food, sweets, cheese and butter.

As part of the food chain, Munksjö said it must ensure that its papers are safe for direct food contact. Achievement of ISO 22000:2005 certification by the Rottersac site demonstrates that the management system implemented complies with the most demanding food safety requirements and operates in accordance with best industry practices.

The Rottersac production site has implemented the HACCP method for effectively controlling food safety. Achievement of the ISO 22000:2005 Food Safety certification is in keeping with Munksjö’s commitment to follow the strictest Health and Safety standards for its employees, customers and suppliers.’
