Food Safety
Here at Ruhlig Farms LLC, Food Safety is an integral part of our entire operation.
It includes growing, harvesting, warehousing, packing and shipping. Our Food Safety
Management System (FSMS) covers good agriculture practices (GAP), good manufacturing
practices (GMP), employee training, supplier management, materials, and our entire
farm and facilities operations.
The goal of food safety is to protect consumers from unsafe or misbranded
food. We implement procedures throughout our operations to anticipate and
control any potential product hazards from harvest through distribution. Food
Safety goes beyond a well designed, clean and well maintained facility, operated
by skilled and trained personnel. It also covers record keeping standards for
example, as well as product traceability, equipment calibration, testing and
analysis, internal inspections and third party audits, supplier integration, and
more.
Food Safety is not a static program. It is dynamic in nature. It is important
to us that Food Safety objectives not only fit comfortably into the
overall objective of Ruhlig Farms LLC, but that they are also understood and easily
executed by personnel at all levels.
