FOOD SAFETY
Our goal at Wada Farms is to create a food safety culture, not a food safety program.
We take food safety seriously.
Our rigorous and uncompromising commitment to food safety is one of the cornerstones of our longstanding success.
Wada Farms now has the Primus GFS audit in place, which is benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). All products shipped by Wada Farms are sampled and tested for any detectable levels of pesticides or herbicides by an independent food safety laboratory.
We use a HAACP program that includes an independently administered trace-back enablement system. Produce is date and source coded, facilitating trace back to the field where it was grown. Wada Farms also supports the Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) and is compliant with each of the required milestones to date.
Our value-added convenience ‘cook in package’ products are triple washed and immersed in FIT produce wash and packaged in an approved food processing environment. Shipping and holding areas are climate controlled – we have pest management systems in place that are maintained by third party contractors.
Every year our farms undergo USDA GAP audits, with our shipping facilities performing USDA GHP audit procedures. Our rigorous and uncompromising commitment to food safety is one of the cornerstones of our longstanding success.
