NBi Technologies, the parent company of NBi FlexPack, has earned recognition as a Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certified Company.
The scope of the certification refers to food sector products, which include NBi FlexPack metalized polyester and recycled polyethylene digital flexible pouches with and without zippers. The Child-Resistant Standup Pouch, the Recyclable Clear High Barrier and the Recyclable White High Barrier films with zippers are ideal for cannabis edibles to help brands meet packaging regulations in states that require child-resistant packaging.
“We’re thrilled to have received an excellent audit rating by ASI Food Safety,” said Rick Nerenhausen, NBi general manager. “As a manufacturer of food packaging, SQF certification is a strong proof of performance that we provide solutions to help cannabis brands give peace of mind to their consumers that the edible contents are packaged with safety as a top priority.”
The inspection of the audit team took place at the NBi facility in Mukwonago, Wisconsin. The scope of SQF certification refers to the laminating, slitting, forming, zipper application and packing of metalized polyester and recycled polyethylene digital flexible pouches packed in plastic bags and cardboard boxes.
SQF is a food safety standard recognized by Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI has approved SQF as one of the benchmarked schemes that meet its stringent requirements for food safety management systems. This recognition means that companies implementing SQF can demonstrate compliance with GFSI’s global standards, enhancing their credibility and market access.
