Global packaging supplier Ecolean recently received one more proof of high standards in aseptic, lightweight packaging solutions. Indonesian customer SoGoodFood became the first company in the country to receive the Class A certificate in the Aseptic category.
The National Agency of Drug and Food Control in the Republic of Indonesia recognised food and beverage manufacturer SoGoodFood’s products consisting of Flavoured UHT milk drinks in Ecolean’s lightweight packages as Class A in the Aseptic category. The result is supported by the high standards of Ecolean packaging’s sterility test results, leading to the agency wanting more information on the aseptic packaging benefits relating to food safety and sterilisation methods.
Paul Mellbin, Senior Advisor, Ambient Technology, Ecolean Group, said: ”When we launched our first aseptic packaging solution for ambient distribution in 2008, we were one of the first packaging suppliers to use e-beam technology as a sterilisation method, which ensures that food contact surfaces are never exposed to any chemicals during production or filling. It was groundbreaking at that time and we are still leading this development.”
Doni Kurniadi, Ecolean Indonesia, added: “The National Agency of Drug and Food Control was delighted to obtain an even deeper knowledge of our unique aseptic technology using e-beam, since this was totally new information for them. It’s nice to hear that SoGoodFood, has become the first company in Indonesia receiving the Class A certificate for Aseptic category. We work in partnerships with our customers and celebrate their success.”
