Hollandia Produce, grower/shipper of Live Gourmet and Grower Pete's brands of living lettuce and leafy greens, is announcing that it has earned a perfect score (100%) on its PrimusGFS certification audit, according to a press release.
Primus Laboratories recently conducted the audit. PrimusGFS is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized audit scheme for certification of produce sector products.
"We are very proud of this achievement," said Hollandia Produce CEO Pete Overgaag. "Food safety is at the foundation of everything we do. This score reinforces our staff’s commitment to adhere to food safety training and related policies and procedures and underscores our ability to deliver competitively superior products that exceed customer expectations."
The Primus audit covered various stages of Hollandia Produce’s operation, including pre- and post-harvest activities, cooling, packing, processing and storing, and assessed the company’s compliance in three key areas: Food Safety Management, Good Agriculture Practices (GAP)/Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). Hollandia Produce received a 100 percent compliance score across all sectors.
"Earning this GFSI certification further strengthens our ‘valued vendor’ status with our channel partners," said Director of Marketing Vincent Choate. "Moreover, food safety program certification and verification reinforces our commitment to transparency and our promise to deliver only the freshest, safest and most nutritious Live Gourmet and Grower Pete’s products we can grow."
