Packaging safety is a key issue for snack and bakery producers who strive to safely maximize product shelf life. Innovations such as modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) and active packaging technologies are leading the way, along with tamper-resistant materials. Also, marking and coding technologies improve traceability.
Traceability is more than a buzzword: it’s increasingly a “must” for food and beverage manufacturers seeking to provide greater visibility to their customers, consumers and government regulators.
