Our plant and production processes reflect our corporate and operational commitment to product purity and integrity and our ability to stand behind our middle name. Under the guidelines of the American Institute of Baking we have created a HACCP program that supports the highest quality and sanitation standards. We inspect all raw and processed ingredients as they arrive at our plant and then monitor ingredients through the production process.At the point of entry, inspections and checks range from paperwork verification and certification to physical, visual, and laboratory analyses. Failure to meet any of our established quality parameters automatically results in rejection.
Our electronic metal detection includes testing instruments for accuracy and sensitivity on a pre-determined schedule, as well as the continuous operation of metal detectors during all phases of production. Concurrent visual and scheduled laboratory quality checks and analyses are documented and retention samples are maintained for a maximum of two months for all production.
