Food Safety
Our unyielding commitment to food safety begins with our trusted growers and suppliers that must comply with stringent protocols and certifications such as GAP, HACCP and food defense plans to ensure the safest produce possible.
As the produce makes it way from the shipper/grower to our facility, we provide an unbroken cold chain. Maintaining our products at the appropriate temperatures from shipper/grower to our customers preserves shelf life and quality and is critical to any food safety program.
Through our Pro*Act network, we have over 100 professionals engaged in inspections, quality control and food safety programs.
Freedom Fresh recently achieved Safe Quality Food Institute (SQF) Storage and Distribution Certification with a score of 97% or “excellent”. Retailers and foodservice providers recognize SQF worldwide as a rigorous, credible food safety management system.
SQF Food Safety Code for Storage and Distribution certification is the highest level a wholesale food distributor can achieve. SQF Level certification is a certified HACCP food safety plan that is benchmarked by Global Food Safety Initiative.
Freedom Fresh passed a series of strongest and rigorous tests in order to obtain this global standard for food safety. With today’s consumers demanding increased food safety assurances and more consumer education on the food they are providing their families, Freedom Fresh willingly embarked on this certification process in order to provide our customers verifiable proof about our food safety systems and protocol.
