“ The certification is an internationally recognized standard for food safety, and it means that our gloves have been tested and approved for use in food processing. ”

After the Green Circle certification, we wanted our customers to clearly identify which gloves would be safe to use in food processing. After a few months of collaboration with HACCP International, 10 of our gloves obtained a global certification identifying them as safe to use for food processing. A major step for our customers who are now able to identify clearly our food processing gloves. Discover more about this process, and also what it could potentially mean for you.

What is HACCP International?

HACCP international is a product certification company. Their goal is to identify and eliminate hazards in the food supply chain, reducing the risk of contamination. Suppliers, like SHOWA, can use their services to have their products tested and verified to see if they match the current regulation in food safety. Once certified, the buyer will be able to identify which product are safe to be used all along any food process.

The label, clearly identifiable, is a guarantee for the buyer to get a product safe to use. However, certification is not a one-time event. The company submitting the products will be under the monitoring of HACCP constantly. And if one component fails, then the certification will no longer be valid. In this way, HACCP International ensures that only safe and compliant products bear their label.

Why do we need a HACCP certification?

The methodology used by the organization is internationally recognized therefore, the benefits of certification are numerous, and include the following: reduced probability of releasing unsafe food to the market, increased consumer confidence in the finished product, increased appeal to investors, suppliers, and partners, better management of resources and waste, and greater acceptance by food processors and manufacturers. Certification can also give a company a competitive advantage in the marketplace and open up new markets. Consequently, certification is an important tool for any company that wants to ensure the safety of its food products.

To this purpose, we submitted 10 of our gloves that were designed for food processing purposes to certification.
