Why Sedex?

Sedex is a global organization that shares supply chain data with over 50,000 members in more than 150 countries, helping those members adhere to a higher standard for health, safety, labor rights, ethical work practices and protecting the environment.

What Is SMETA?

SMETA stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit and is a methodology for auditing that can help ensure an audit is of high quality and covers the main pillars of the Sedex philosophy of standards as mentioned above.

Does Sedex Registration Guarantee Food Safety Compliance?

Sedex is a member organization designed to help its members excel when it comes to the quality of their products, their manufacturing and their work practices. It is not in and of itself a regulatory agency or accrediting body. However, you can rest assured in the knowledge that all food-grade bulk bags you order from Midwestern Bag & Supply are manufactured in certified clean rooms to FSSC 22000, BRC and AIB standards and are GFSI-recognized and FSMA-compliant.

What Does FSMA-Compliance Mean?

FSMA refers to the Food Safety Modernization Act. The Food Safety Modernization Act is a law passed by the FDA to protect citizens from the dangers of foodborne illness. To be FSMA-compliant, we are required to make sure our bulk bags meet FSMA Preventative Controls for Human Food standards. This means we must demonstrate a clear process for making sure we reduce the chance for food contamination as significantly as possible in the manufacture and shipping of our bulk bags.

To achieve FSMA compliance, we must submit to and pass testing of our employees’ qualifications for working with food-grade packaging, of our machinery for cleanliness and regular cleaning maintenance and of our manufacturing environment for cleanliness and hygiene. You can be quite sure that between our compliance certifications and the information we can obtain through Sedex, you are storing your food products in bulk bags that are crafted from the highest quality materials and are held to an extremely high standard of cleanliness, health and safety.
