FOODBOARD™ App: traceability assured

Traceability thanks to FOODBOARD™ app

Processing and the use of packaging materials for food require a continuous traceability. All manufacturers of packaging which comes into contact with food are obliged to ensure the traceability of their packaging in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004. Nowadays, the supply chain is often facing this as a major challenge, in particular, when for food packaging a record down to the single packaging item is defined. To facilitate this requirement, MMK has developed the FOODBOARD™ app. In addition to the product protection, which FOODBOARD™ provides as a folding box solution for packed food, MMK can also ensure full traceability. An online platform complements the FOODBOARD™ app for research purpose.
