Each of us at Gadsden Tomato Co, Quincy Tomato Corp, High Hope Farms LLC, and SK Enterprises has a moral obligation to safeguard each other, and our employees, by aspiring to operate a safe, injury free and healthy workplace that is always safe and to minimize, our impact on Food Safety Issues.
Our primary concern is that the Tomatoes we pack are processed to the very highest standards using quality products and ingredients and as the very minimum we will comply with all relevant legislation, food safety laws, and approved codes of practice.
To ensure best practice we have developed a common minimum operating standard and set of behaviors which will be practiced at every location we operate. These are based on sound regulatory requirements and industry best practice and are being introduced into all our operations.
We will regularly measure compliance against these standards and implement performance objectives to assure our customers that we are providing food which is safe to eat while meeting their quality expectations.
Specifically, we will require that:
It is my responsibility as Food Safety Director to ensure that the appropriate resources, including human and financial ones, are committed towards implementing this policy across all our operations and communicating our policies and standards to all our employees.
Our food safety performance will be considered at every management meeting and the Management will review this policy annually to ensure that it continues to reflect the aims and aspirations of the company and keeps up to date with legislative requirements. We will report annually on the introduction of and compliance with these standards and on the number of our units that meet the requirements of our Food Safety Audit.
