Mets\u00e4 Board's production plants in Kyro and \u00c4\u00e4nekoski in Finland and Husum in Germany have been awarded FSSC 22000 certification for food safety.<\/p>\n

According to the company, comprehensive measures have been taken in the production plants to ensure the safety of the products for demanding end applications. The certification documents that in the three Mets\u00e4 Board<\/strong>-plants can also process products that come into direct contact with food, explains the manufacturer of Premium fresh fibre board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The FSSC-22000<\/strong>-standard is a comprehensive system for food safety and is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The requirements apply to both Mets\u00e4 Board customers and end consumers.<\/p>

Consumers appreciate the benefits of traceable cartonboard<\/h2>\n

\u201eConsumers appreciate the benefits of traceable and renewable virgin fibre cartonboard, especially in direct food contact. The FSSC 22000 certifications are part of our continuous improvement practice and an expression of the high standards we set in the area of food safety.\u201c
\nMarjatta Punkka<\/strong>, Product Safety Manager at Mets\u00e4 Board<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mets\u00e4 Board emphasises that it strives to achieve the same high safety standards in its own production facilities as it does for its customers in the food industry. All plants already have a food safety system in accordance with ISO 22000<\/strong> certified. The FSSC 22000 system was previously introduced at the Finnish plant in Simpele in 2017.<\/p>\n

So-called Food service cartons<\/strong> make beside Folding boxboard<\/strong> and white Kraftliner<\/strong> fibre makes up a significant proportion of Mets\u00e4 Board's portfolio. According to the Finnish manufacturer, it uses pure virgin fibres - a renewable raw material that can be traced back to its origin in sustainably managed Nordic forests.<\/p>
