Flexible Packaging Hygiene Association
Such topics as "BSE problem" and "the traceability of origin of food" are highly concerned among consumers and making them more interested in "safety and security of food." However, such topics as safety and hygiene of packaging materials for food have never been the focus of their interest.
The flexible packaging material targeted by Independent Hygiene Management Standard is a product made from a plastic film, paper, and metallic foil, and processed through the gravure printing or the lamination.
Flexible Packaging Hygiene Association (F.P.H.A) is independent group established by the manufacturers of the flexible packaging material aiming at manufacture of a sanitary flexible packaging product.
In order to manufacture a sanitary flexible packaging material, FPHA prepares "Independent Hygiene Management Standard", and operates "Factory Accreditation System" based on this standard.
