Greif Malaysia Plant in Petaling Jaya proudly celebrated its first-ever Food Safety Day on 1st August 2025. The event was organized to strengthen our culture of food safety and raise awareness across the plant, reflecting our ongoing commitment to the highest global standards in food safety management.
With over 80 colleagues from both office and production teams in attendance, the day was filled with hands-on learning, team spirit, and a shared dedication to continuous improvement.
Kicking Off With Purpose
The day began with an inspiring address by Operations Manager Jason Low, who emphasized the critical role of food safety in our daily operations. He also recognized the team’s achievement of the FSSC 22000 certification as a strong foundation for building a lasting culture of food safety at Greif Malaysia.
Interactive Learning in Action
Five engaging activity stations brought food safety principles to life:
• Voice of Customer – Showcasing how feedback drives better food safety and quality.
• 5S Relay Game – Reinforcing good housekeeping practices that support hygiene and compliance.
• Spot Video – Training participants to identify and correct unsafe behaviors. behaviors that could compromise food safety.
• Mix & Match – Connecting food safety rules to real workplace scenarios.
• Hazard & FIFO Challenge – Emphasizing hazard detection and proper inventory practices.
Celebrating Participation & Creativity
After completing the activities, participants were treated to a hearty lunch and an opportunity to enter the Video Contest. These creative videos underscored our food safety culture in fun and memorable ways.
Reinforcing Everyday Excellence
Throughout the day, we took time to revisit and reinforce essential food safety practices that are vital to our daily operations. From proper hand hygiene and the strict “No food or drink policy” in production areas, to the consistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hairnets, gloves, and aprons, each habit plays a critical role in maintaining a safe and hygienic workplace. We also emphasized the importance of promptly reporting any contamination risks or irregularities. These routines are more than just compliance measures. They form the backbone of our FSSC 22000 standards and are key to sustaining the trust and confidence of our customers.
Ausblick
The FSSC 22000 certification remains a proud achievement for Greif Malaysia, but it is only the foundation. Food safety is not a one-time goal — it is a continuous journey that thrives on vigilance, teamwork, and constant improvement. By nurturing awareness and strengthening our culture, we ensure that food safety stays at the core of everything we do.
A big thank you to everyone in Greif Malaysia Petaling Jaya, who made Food Safety Day 2025 a success. Together, we are not just meeting standards, we are setting them.
