PEPSA can assure food companies that their flexible packaging products have the necessary regulatory compliance for the intended application. We have documentation that all components used in the package are recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as safe for food contact products (subject to any noted provisions and use restrictions). We have full understanding of food manufacturer requirements so we know it is crucial to select the correct materials for the package to ensure regulatory compliance for the intended application.
All personnel in each facility (including visitors) follow stringent hygiene policies, procedures and protocols to reduce the risk of product contamination.
