Food Safety Is Serious Business
Food Safety is paramount to our joint success. A&A Produce fully realizes the importance of ensuring every item we sell is safe for public consumption. We have regular unscheduled inspections by the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, and we are pleased to always receive a score of “Excellent.”
To meet our own high standards of food and health safety, we elected to undergo a comprehensive third party audit with the Safe Quality Food Audit (SQF). SQF is a rigorous food management system. It is the only certification system recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). A&A Produce is proud to have recently received a 99% on our recent Safe Quality Food Audit.
