Spear Receives Food Safety System Certification

Dave McKell, quality director for Spear, discussed what food safety means for the company. “The scope of what is considered 'food contact' has been blurred in the recent years," he said. "We have ramped up our efforts for several years to ensure we are ahead of the certification curve rather than playing catch up. These certifications provide assurance to our customers that Spear is providing food-safe packaging to their global food supply chain." He explained that Spear continues to write procedures, train and improve its safety practices. "Spear does not look at certifications as wall art," he said, "but as a way to manage our quality each and every day.”
