Other plant safeguards include:
• Ingredients are tested prior to receiving for quality assurances including but not limited to; nutritional integrity, aflatoxins, microtoxins, and moisture levels.
• During production, NIR (Near Infra Red) technology is used to measure properties like fat, protein and moisture content of the food.
• Between production runs of different products, we demand a complete cleaning and sanitation to ensure the integrity of our foods. As well, raw ingredient bins are dedicated to just one particular ingredient, and raw material bins are cleaned between batches. Finished products are kept in a separate location from raw ingredients. Employees in different areas of production utilize strict protocols to ensure no cross contamination.
• We demand that food ingredients used in our recipes be fit for human consumption, and free of contaminants.
