The Lae Biscuit Company based in Lae, Morobe Province and
proud manufacturer of several biscuit brands that identify with PNG is aiming
to sell its products overseas.
On the eve of the country’s 48 independence, the company
received international accreditation as a Food Safety System Certification
22000.
This accreditation is issued by S-A-I Global and this
accreditation helps Lae Biscuit to meet international food industry
requirements.
Company General Manager, Edwin Elmer Wong, says in a statement the company takes great pride in being the first PNG-owned company to be given the Food Safety System Certification 22000 certification.
He says from a statement that being accredited means from
the supply of raw materials to line production and finished products, including
the up-skilling of manpower to deliver the end product they have to be food
safety conscious.
Wong says it has been a progressive process since the opening of the state-of-the-art Lae Biscuit Company factory completed in October 2017.
In 2021, the Lae Biscuit Company along with 10 other food
manufacturing companies in Papua New Guinea, met internationally recognized and
approved food safety and control measures when awarded the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point or (HACCP) certification by the Papua New Guinea
Certification Services through the National Institute of Standards and Industrial
Technology (NISIT).
Lae biscuit says that process took the Company three years
to achieve the HACCP certification.
Lae Biscuit Company Chairman, Ian Chow, in acknowledging the
achievement by the company, said this is such a milestone accomplishment. He
thanked the managers and staff for working tirelessly behind the scenes and
putting together all requirements to achieve the Food Safety System
Certification 22000.
In the 2023 Australian NRL season, Lae Biscuit Company was
able to get an advertisement on the Sport Shorts of the Cronulla Sharks players.
