Japanese steel giant Nippon Steel has obtained FSSC22000 certification for its food container steel sheets for the first time in Japan. Kyushu Works of Nippon Steel has become Japan’s first steel manufacturing organization to receive FSSC22000, an international food safety standard certification, for its tinplate, TFS & can light etc, which are used for beverage and food cans.In recent years, with the increasing global concern about food safety, there has been a growing demand for strict hygiene management throughout the food industry chain, including packaging and containers. FSSC22000 is an international standard approved by the non-profit organization GFSI as a food safety certification scheme, which requires establishing a food safety management system for the purpose of providing safe food to consumers.Recognizing that these trends are accelerating worldwide and the need for objective evaluation is increasing, Nippon Steel has been working to improve manufacturing and product management levels as a part of the food chain and has successfully acquired the above certification. Nippon Steel aims to obtain this certification as soon as possible for our other manufacturing sites for container steel sheets going forward.
