Food Safety

McCartney Produce is committed to the highest quality standards as we serve our customers and our community. In 1998 we initiated our own HAACP program and submitted to a third party inspection by NSF Cook & Thurber. As part of the certification process we renovated our facility and implemented Recall, Quality Assurance, Repackaging and Standard Sanitation and Operation Procedures (SSOP).

Today we are constantly fine-tuning and verifying our ability to recover products in case of an emergency. This includes running mock recalls twice each year. Our last audit placed McCartney Produce in the top 3% of the nation.

We believe in cold chain security from the field to our customer:

• The moment produce arrives it is inspected and stored in climate-controlled areas specifically designed for the unique temperature, humidity and ethylene-level requirements of each item.
• When products leave our facility they do so in trucks continuously monitored for the temperature of the load.

No food safety plan is one-size-fits-all and we understand the safety of the food you serve your customers is critical. Please contact us today and we’ll be happy to answer your specific questions and share copies of our latest audit reports.
