What Are Food Grade Bags?
A food-grade FIBC, or bulk bag, is a flexible container specifically approved for storing and transporting food products. Since food products are items that people eat, it is absolutely vital that these bags are constructed in a hygienic environment with non-toxic materials and are manufactured in such a way that they avoid any outside contamination during storage or transport.
When you use Midwestern Bag & Supply as your food-grade bulk bag supplier, you are assured of receiving bulk bags that have met the standards of multiple certifying agencies as safe for transporting and storing consumables.
Food Grade FIBCs
You can’t afford to cut corners with your food-grade Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers, which is why Midwestern Bag & Supply should be the only company you ever contact when you need bulk bags for food processing. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence when it comes to the design and manufacturing of food-grade bulk bags, and our food-grade FIBCs always meet the strict standards of FSSC 22000 and BRC certifications and the FDA.
To ensure maximum hygiene and food safety with our food-grade FIBCs, we make our food-grade bulk bags out of 100 percent virgin woven polypropylene in certified clean rooms and are sure to sanitize all machinery with food-grade cleaners and grease. No matter what type of food products you are storing or transporting in our food-grade bulk bags, you can be sure they will arrive at their final destination clean and safe to use.
Midwestern Bag & Supply is the smart, economical choice when it comes to food-grade bulk bags as well. When you work with us, you’ll save money and time because our bulk bags are built to last.
Certified Food Grade Bags
When you are working with a material as sensitive as food, you need a bulk bag option that will prevent contamination and that follows strict regulations. If you’re in the market for food-grade bulk bags, you’ll want some kind of guarantee or certification that proves the bags are safe for food handling.
Surprisingly, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is not the body that completes these certifications. Organizations like the British Retail Consortium, American Institute of Baking and the Global Food Safety Initiative are a few bodies that do these types of analyses.
While you’re shopping for food grade bags, you’ll want a product that goes beyond the normal standards for bulk bags. Bulk bags that are certified as food grade must adhere to standards in the resin, or the way that the bag is manufactured.
Standard food grade certifications only look at the cutting, sewing and other processes that occur beyond manufacturing, not the manufacturing process itself.
Shopping for a bulk bag to use for food storage or transportation means you have to do a little more research. Finding out whether it has a certification or not, and then asking about the scope of the certification will help you find the best food grade FIBC.
Choose a Bulk Bag Manufacturer With a 100%-Certified Process
When you shop food grade bulk bags at Midwestern Bag & Supply, you’ll have a superior product. The difference with our food grade super sacks is that they receive a much more thorough certification process.
Some bag manufacturers are cutting and sewing their bags in a clean environment to meet the food grade level of quality, but they are not following those same guidelines during the processes that come before it.
Our food grade bulk bags are of a higher quality because we manufacture them in a clean facility for the extrusion and weaving process, as well as everything that comes afterward.
Bags manufactured in an unclean environment for any steps at all mean products are susceptible to dirt and contaminants. Without proper air control and various unhygienic practices, these bags are not truly compliant with food grade certifications.
Finding bulk bags with full hygienic manufacturing practices can be difficult. If a manufacturer isn’t transparent about their food grade certification process, there’s no guarantee that their bags are fully safe for food use.
Avoid the risk by shopping with Midwestern Bag & Supply. We maintain a high expectation of quality when it comes to all of our FIBC bags, and especially for our food grade bags. To stand behind this expectation, we maintain that 100% of our process is food grade certified.
If you’re concerned about the quality of your current food grade bags, eliminate that concern by replacing your bags today. With our food grade bulk bags to rely on, the food items you are storing or transporting will not come into contact with any unsanitary materials.
