Dedicated to Safety and Excellence

Product safety is our top priority. Under the close direction of Food Safety Quality Assurance Manager Eric Alvarez, our staff meets strict guidelines mandated by our SQF 9.0 Food Safety and Quality Certifications to ensure we deliver the freshest, safest pre-cut fruits and vegetables. Audits by independent third parties, the military, and the FDA, along with our monthly internal audits, confirm our product is held to the highest industry standards.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Our facility maintains a temperature between 34–40 degrees Fahrenheit 24/7 to ensure an appropriate climate for storage, fresh-cutting, and staging.

PACKAGING

The secret to maintaining shelf life of fresh-cut produce is proper packaging. For our products, we use food-grade bags or trays designed to allow our product to respirate appropriately to promote a healthy shelf life.

METAL DETECTION

Once the product is packaged, it is run through metal detectors to check for any metal contaminants before distribution.

WASH SYSTEM

Our state-of-the-art wash system lowers microbial counts in all of our fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Through weekly lab tests, we confirm our microbial parameters to ensure our customers are receiving the cleanest, safest product possible.

FOOD SAFETY CULTURE

Food safety is one of our founding principles. We believe that a strict food safety culture is our team’s top priority and puts food safety at the forefront of everything we do.
