Food Grade Packaging

  Camco's new food-grade packaging area meets the ost rigorous Kosher standards
Camco's new food-grade packaging area meets the most rigorous Kosher standards

Camco’s food grade packaging operation is certified as acceptable for Kosher packaging -– even under the rigorous standard applied to Passover use.

The current capability of Camco's food grade packaging operation includes sizes ranging from five-gallon containers to 330-gallon totes. Adoption of gallon or quart packaging is a step that only awaits the first customer requiring those sizes.

The food grade packaging area is equipped with positive air pressurization, a high efficiency air filtration system and specially designed entry / exit doors that permit packaging materials to enter, and filled containers to exit without risk of contamination. Another positive feature of the food grade packaging installation is that it is situated directly adjacent to the bermed bulk trailer and railcar offloading site. That facility is equipped to apply the steam as well as air pressure required to store and offload finished materials that are being packed in this new addition. Most importantly, Camco's ISO procedures assure consistent execution.
