compliance

We go above and beyond the food safety standards established by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). We choose to require third-party (independent) food safety audits of all our ingredient suppliers. Furthermore, in any given year, we may conduct 25+ additional food safety supplemental audits. We are thoroughly committed to compliance and supply chain management.

We have a meticulous traceability process in place. It goes from our ingredient suppliers to the production plant to the finished product and finally, to each customer. This intricate system relies on electronic systems and records to provide visibility into our entire supply chain. In addition, Quality Control personnel are trained to trace inputs, and unannounced tests are conducted to assess “real-time” tracing capabilities.
