Packaging is an important step that strongly influences the integrity of the product that reaches consumers. If microbial contamination occurs during packaging it can cause off-flavours, hazes or deposits, all of which negatively affect consumer perception. This can result in costly product recalls and brand damage. Spoilage microorganisms can easily be introduced into packaging lines through inadequate sanitation procedures, flaws in infrastructure or procedures and running contaminated products through the line.
Affinity Labs offers microbiological audits of packaging lines to help identify potential risk areas that could lead to contamination problems. An independent audit can provide confidence and assurance that current procedures are effective or provide vital information to enable risks to be reduced.
