HALAL Food Safety Policy Declaration

HALAL Food Safety Policy Declaration

Fiorini Packaging S.p.A. intends to obtain recognition of its products by an accredited body to certify they meet the requirements of the reference standard for HALAL certification.

In order to meet the growing demand from Muslim countries for Halal products, Fiorini Packaging provides food companies with sacks intended for direct contact with food which are produced in accordance with the rules of Islamic doctrine.

The aim of the company is to accommodate all its customers’ needs in relation to Food Contact Materials (FCMs).

Halal certification is today an essential customs requirement for the entry and sale of certain foodstuffs in Islamic countries, but it is increasingly required by importers due to the rising demand on the part of consumers who are more attentive to conscious food consumption. It is therefore a great opportunity to boost penetration in the markets of countries with a significant presence of Islamic communities, both in Europe and in the rest of the world, and to offer a certified quality assurance to Muslim consumers.

Halal-certified packaging enables customers to consume while remaining true to their beliefs along the entire value chain.

The Halal sacks produced by Fiorini Packaging are entirely made of plastic materials, paper, inks and glues and with a production process that excludes the use of animal fats, alcohol and additives which are not permitted by Halal regulations.

The Halal food safety management system implemented by Fiorini Packaging includes raw materials, production, storage, distribution, cleaning, maintenance and packaging.

To this end, Fiorini Packaging undertakes to ensure:
• The absence of non-conforming substances: raw materials, ingredients, additives, preservatives, colourings, processing aids, including all the additives hidden in lubricants and detergents which come into contact with the sack directly or along the lines;
• Non-contamination: “Halal” substances must not come into contact with “Haram” substances and in order to avoid contamination or cross-contamination, Fiorini Packaging has also carefully evaluated the presence of Haram substances in all its products and on all its lines thanks to a thorough risk assessment process.
• Assessment of the production lines: tools, instruments, machinery and production lines used for “Haram” products should not be used for “Halal” products. To this end, Fiorini Packaging has performed a thorough assessment of possible Haram contamination along the lines.
• Identification and Traceability: the identification of finished products and raw materials, as well as the areas and lines dedicated to each one, has been adapted throughout all company premises and along the lines; the traceability of “Halal” production is guaranteed in every phase of production and during the release of the finished product.
• Halal labelling and logo: Fiorini Packaging undertakes to affix the HALAL logo and related product labelling according to customer specifications.
• Quality System: the in-house procedures for “Halal” certification and production are integrated into the food safety and quality system;
• Training: periodically intended for all personnel directly concerned to ensure maximum compliance with HALAL procedures envisaged by the production regulations.

At the customer’s request, Fiorini Packaging can perform porcine DNA detection analyses.

In order to guarantee the maximum safety and respect of Halal requirements, Fiorini Packaging excludes all types of recycled paper or plastic from its HALAL sack production.

Since there are currently no third-party outsourcers capable of complying with the HALAL standard, Fiorini Packaging has also established that its HALAL sacks are manufactured solely in its own production plant.
