Thanks to the BRC/IOP Packaging Standard packaging materials in the UK are good enough to eat; even secondary and tertiary packaging is completely contaminant free. I've no doubt there are food producers all over the world with hygiene standards nowhere near the level found in your average UK cardboard box manufacturer. UK packaging is undoubtedly the safest in the world.
I have a friend who has recently returned from the USA; he spent a few weeks at a manufacturer of direct contact food packaging who supply large US retailers. Guess what - they have no hygiene standards. No hairnets, no hand-washing, no pest control, no glass control, no blade control, nothing, nada, zip.
Are the Brits anally retentive hygiene freaks or are the Yanks a public hygiene risk?
Who has got it right?

Simon
