Advantis 3PL Plus, a member of the Hayleys Advantis Group, has become the only Sri Lankan company in the logistics sector to obtain the UKAS accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification in food safety management in the ‘storage, distribution and value-added services’ sector certified by SGS Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, the company said in a media release.
Commenting on this new certification, the Managing Director of Hayleys Advantis Ltd, Ruwan Waidyaratne said: “We are proud to be the first logistics service provider in Sri Lanka to obtain a UKAS accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification. This milestone in our history is a clear indication of how we strive for continuous improvements by adopting new standards and refining current best practices to meet and surpass the requirements of global multi-national corporations.”
The release said that the UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Services) accredited ISO 22000:2018 certification maps out the requirements of an organisation to demonstrate its ability to control food safety hazards to ensure the safety of food throughout the handling process. The certification which applies to the company’s operations at the Advantis Logistics City in Kotugoda, and the Advantis Kelaniya Distribution Centre will guarantee the safety of food stored and handled for value-added services in the facilities.
“The new certification will assist the company in staying ahead of its competitors while adding value to customers by offering assurance on food safety and quality of products handled. As food safety management standards help organisations identify and control food safety hazards, it provides a layer of reassurance within the global supply chain, helping products cross borders and bring people food they can trust,” said Sheran Abeyesundere, Director/CEO of Advantis 3PL Plus.
The scope of registration for the certification covers warehouse operations and value-added services for packed finished products, including price stickering, labelling and banding of food items.
