FOOD SAFETY
Since the United States
Congress passed the Bioterrorism Act in 2002, food safety
has come to the foreground of the produce industry. The
Bioterrorism Act of 2002 is designed to prevent tampering
with the U.S. food supply.
Fru-Veg Marketing takes most
seriously its role in assuring that customers
receive
produce that is safe and wholesome. Importers play a key
role in the food safety chain from grower to consumer. A
third-party audit of Fru-Veg’s cold storage and distribution
facilities is performed annually by Primus Labs. Their
certification confirms that Fru-Veg takes the necessary
measures
to ensure the Food Safety program is in compliance
with their strict guidelines.
Fru-Veg’s commitment to food
safety includes an effective trace-back system in addition
to monitoring the handling of the product and cold chain
