Our Product Quality and Food Safety

You and your teams have worked hard throughout the season to cultivate and pick the finest quality produce for the consumer. When it comes time to pack that produce, you want to know that the packaging you choose to deliver it has been produced and provided to you with the same level of care and attention to safety.

The Bunzl Agriculture Group is committed to the highest standards of product quality and safety throughout our operations and supply chain. You can be assured that the same standards to which we hold our own facilities and employees are also required of our supply chain.  Some of the processes and practices are outlined here.
