Assuring food safety when transporting goods is essential to protect consumers from farm to fork. Every day over 300,000 tons of raw materials and semi-finished products travel through Europe alone. Certification to the ENFIT HQF standard ensures food safety when transporting goods in containers.
Covering a three-stage inspection program, including the management system, training and management of personal, the ENFIT standard and HQF certification apply to cleaning stations where containers holding raw material or food are thoroughly cleaned after every transport.
“Consumers trust all of us to keep them safe. Maintaining hygiene to the highest standard in every link, including cleaning stations for food transports, is an essential cog in the bigger picture to keep the wheels in our food supply chain turning safely.” says Joy Laing, Global Food & Beverage Director in DNV GL-Business Assurance.
The ENFIT standard and HQF certification cover both a safety management system audit, equipment inspection and cleaning verification. Independent assurance and risk management provider DNV GL has been selected as ENFIT’s partner.
“We are very proud to recognize DNV GL as the exclusive certification body to assure compliance with the ENFIT HQF standard. With its food safety history and presence throughout the value chain, it is the ideal partner,” says Hans-Dieter Philipowski, President of ENFIT – International Association Supply Chain Safety.
