Risk Category (check all the apply)
Packaging that comes into direct contact with food
products (or other designated hygiene-sensitive
products*). Primary packaging used for food or other
hygiene-sensitive products where there is no absolute
barrier in place.
* Those products intended for human consumption or
which come into contact with the body, such as application
to the skin.
Packaging for consumer products and the secondary and
tertiary packaging for all uses
It is recognized that many manufactures or suppliers may produce packaging in both categories. In these circumstances
they may either choose to use one category for the entire factory or separate them by areas. It is not envisages that more
than one category would apply to the same area.
