ISO22000 accreditation

Herbert's food safety initiative wins retailer praise

Herbert Group, a leading supplier of weighing, packaging and labelling solutions to grocery and other retailers, has won praise from the country's top supermarkets for successfully gaining ISO 22000 accreditation for its manufacturing, servicing and operating systems and processes. Herbert is among the first equipment producers in the world to achieve the internationally recognised food safety management standard, which covers the entire 'Farm to Fork' cycle and is a quality benchmark for all participants in the food supply chain.
