Safety and traceability: a priority
One of our priority missions is to ensure the health of our customers by guaranteeing food safety. Consequently, since 2009, the company has incorporated a food safety program into its operations. Implemented by the Canadian Horticultural Council, commonly known as “Canada GAP”, this standard attests to the efforts put in place to guarantee safe and healthy food and our company rigorously follows the required measures.
Here are some examples of the initiatives we have taken to comply with this program:
- All seeds, pesticides and fertilizers applied in our fields are recorded in a computerized register in order to meet our traceability criteria. This process allows us to trace a batch of vegetables from the field to the store. Therefore, if we have to deal with a recall, it is easy for us to notify the concerned customers.
- Hygiene rules are of utmost importance to us, and each of our employees must undergo a complete training program as soon as they are hired.
- In order to avoid any glass splinters in the vegetables, all the lights have been covered.
Since August 2010, we are subject to inspections by external firms. Our buildings as well as all our health and traceability records are checked to validate our compliance with the program.
