The Benefits of Northern’s P.A.S.S. | Food Program

Protective Apparel Safety System

Northern Uniform offers a unique program designed to streamline costs and provide full documentation for the development and maintenance of food safety workwear.

Our P.A.S.S. | Food program is a verified and traceable, fully documented, and third-party audited process.

Our ISO 22000:2018 registration covers services provided under this program, which is a significant enhancement to a standard uniform service.

Northern's P.A.S.S. | Food Program

Every P.A.S.S. | Food garment that passes through our plant is distinguished by a yellow-backed barcode. This identifies each garment as a P.A.S.S. program piece, which allows us to recognize them at a glimpse and handle the garment according to our ISO 22000 procedures. This, coupled with our RFID systems, enables tracking and managing of inventory like no one else can offer.

We verify that our P.A.S.S. | Food garments are allergen free by conducting random protein swabs of every food safety delivery.

Starting a Food Processing Rental Program is Simple with Northern

Northern Uniform is proud to be the first uniform rental company in North America to successfully attain the ISO22000:2018 Food Safety Management System certification.

This proves our ability to control food safety hazards and implement systems throughout our operations that consistently provide safe garments for our food processing customers.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Pick-Up

Equipped with the right PPE, your trained Service Specialist picks up soiled garments, and carts them away for laundering at Northern’s facility—avoiding any opportunity for cross-contamination.

2. Washed

Each item is washed at 160 degrees Fahrenheit in our open-pocket washers; machines specially designed to avoid cross contamination that can occur with spinning washers.

2. Sanitized

Proper sanitization is guaranteed by automated alarm monitoring on formula steps and computerized chemical injections, as well as physical temperature and pH verification at regular intervals.

4. Packaged

Garments are swabbed, then packaged and sealed in plastic. Garment packages are then placed into sanitized carts and staged in for transport.

5. Distributed

Carts are loaded in clean trucks and kept separate from the dirty garments. Your garments will arrive clean, sanitized, and ready to go!

6. Thoroughly Documented

The entire process, from start to finish, follows our ISO procedures for dependable, documented consistency.
