In recent years Adelaide Packaging Supplies were crucial in UniFresh updating their quality control system from the HACCP system to the SQF international system.

 

UniFresh being the innovative company that they are, saw that the two stage SQF system was necessary. This SQF system entails a two-part process where certain sections of the facility are colour coded. One section is blue where everyone is wearing blue gloves, blue aprons, blue hair nets and more. In this low risk area, the food is washed and sanitized to be ready for the next section. In the next section which is white, everyone is wearing white PPE. In this high care area, the food is sliced, diced, etc… and packaged ready to be sent off to places such as KFC, Hungry Jacks, Subway, quick service restaurants and more. Movement between the sections is restricted and helps increase the hygiene level while preventing cross-contamination.

needed a good supplier, good service, good price and very
responsive packaging supplies company. We have found that with
Adelaide Packaging Supplies. They are our first point of call
if we need anything new.”
