That’s why we created B!Quality, our approach to food safety and quality. It brings together our people, practices, science and standards -from how ingredients are grown and harvested to how they’re inspected, prepared and packaged.
Because food safety isn’t about one test or one checkpoint. It’s about what happens at every step.
Prevention first. Continuous improvement always.
We don’t wait until ingredients reach our facilities to think about food safety.
We work closely with our growers and suppliers, set rigorous standards for how ingredients are grown and harvested, and use inspection, sampling and monitoring to help identify potential issues as early as possible.
We assess fields, water and growing conditions before harvest. If a field doesn’t meet our food safety expectations, we won’t harvest or source from it – even when that comes at a cost.
Prevention is at the heart of B!Quality.
We use testing, monitoring, data and science to understand where risks may exist and put safeguards in place throughout our operations. And we’re constantly looking at those safeguards to understand where they can be stronger.
We use multiple layers of protection – including metal detection, vision systems and visual inspection – to help prevent foreign material from reaching our products.
Food safety keeps evolving. We believe our approach should, too.
Our teams stay close to emerging research, new technology and the latest thinking in fresh produce safety. We work alongside growers, researchers and industry organizations to learn, test new approaches and turn those learnings into stronger practices.
We listen to consumer feedback, monitor how our products are performing, and look for patterns that can tell us where we need to improve.
Because quality isn’t about getting it right once. It’s about having the discipline to keep getting better.
Food safety doesn’t stand still. Neither do we.
We continue to strengthen our programs, invest in our people and technology, learn from new science and challenge ourselves to find better ways of working.
That’s what B!Quality is about.
Prevention first.
Continuous improvement always.
And earning your trust every day.
