HACCP
Sinteco participated in a working group organized by ASSICC, for the drafting of a "Guide to good practice for companies operating in the storage and distribution of food products" that has been validated by the Ministry of Health, in accordance with Regulation 852/2004.
In the areas of our facilities, dedicated to the storage of food and raw Active pharmaceutical materials, we implemented a manual for self-control for good hygiene practices, HACCP; this has been adapted to the needs of our customers based on the specific type of products stored.
The procedures cover comprehensively the entire process of product management, from the moment of their inbound to the warehouse till their shipment, highlighting the critical points to be monitored, with any corrective actions to be implemented.
Where required, the proper storage of products is guaranteed by controlled temperature storage areas, with constant recording of the temperature values.
