If you supply lubricants to the food and beverage industry, or to the packaging industry, a customer may soon demand that your packaging must meet Canada's new food-safety standards for packaging, even when the products you supply aren't food-grade lubricants. The food and beverage industry for years has recognized the importance of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) food-safety standards. With growing attention to food safety and bio-security, the industry is now demanding HACCP compliance from its suppliers in order to control risk throughout the food chain. To meet this demand, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (the agriculture department of Canada's federal government) and the Toronto-based Packaging Association of Canada are developing standards for specific packaging materials based on HACCP principles.
