Certifications for Co-Packing Quality and Food Safety
Econo-Pak’s contract food packaging and manufacturing facility operates under full FDA regulations.
We work under a HACCP-based quality management program that is routinely and independently audited.
Our Certifications
Econo-Pak is actively certified to assure quality packaging materials and processes for our clients. Whether it is propriety requirements, allergy restrictions, or religious diet inclinations, we are devoted to our commitment to quality control and food safety measures.
Below, we’ve outlined some of the certifications we hold and the compliance standards we adhere to:
Recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification incorporates a rigorous food safety risk management system. SQF Level 3 includes both food safety and quality management requirements and is the most demanding of all the available systems.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees all food manufacturing and processing plants (with the exception of animal products) and develops the laws, rules, and regulations for American food safety. We adhere to FDA regulations in all of our manufacturing plants.
Costco is just one of the customers with whom Econo-Pak is independently audited and certified. Any site that produces a product directly for Costco Wholesale Corp. or one of their buyers must first be approved through this audit process.
The U.S. government maintains strict standards on what constitutes organic crops, products, and byproducts. In order for a product to be sold, labeled, or represented as organic, all of its production and handling must be appropriately certified.
Responsible gluten management is essential for consumer safety and well-being, especially for those with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Our gluten-free certification involves thorough food assessments, food and ingredient list management, and strict labeling practices.
The OU, or Orthodox Union, was founded in 1924 as the first independent American kosher certification agency. We’re proud to work with them to provide products labeled with the hechsher symbol for Jewish communities and beyond.
Econo-Pak is committed to our sustainability initiative for our people and for the planet. We are Sedex certified to maintain full transparency about our ethical and sustainability measures.
Ensuring non-GMO integrity is essential for maintaining consumer trust and meeting evolving market expectations. Our non-GMO certification includes rigorous ingredient verification, comprehensive supply chain audits, and precise labeling protocols.
Plus, we regularly participate in additional audits for our customers.
In addition to holding these certifications, the Econo-Pak team works with individual customer audits on a regular basis, as well as specific audits and clients, including:
Annual Silliker and AIB audits
Pennsylvania Board of Health
New Jersey Board of Health
