The BRC operates a programme of internationally recognised hygiene standards for the packaging used for food and drink. Accreditation at level ‘AA’ guarantees that Weedon Corrugated Products’ manufacturing processes will deliver top quality corrugated packaging for the food and drink markets.

Weedon Corrugated Products Managing Director, John Weedon, commented:

“Within the Weedon Group the provision of top quality service to our customers is one of our highest priorities. BRC provides the industry-wide benchmark for food safety and quality and its standard is fast becoming a minimum requirement for major retailers.
