FOOD SAFETY
|
In recent years, consumers have shown
a growing interest in knowing where their food comes from
and how it was produced.
At Bonita North America, Food Safety has been a top agenda
item for over half a century. Quality management, traceability,
residue monitoring, risk assessment and consumer relations
are the protocols on which Bonita is based.
On the farm, field inspectors ensure that fruit is harvested
only when stringent quality standards are met. At the
port of embarkation inspectors conduct quality evaluations
prior to the loading of the vessel as well as at discharge
in North American ports. All reports from our inspectors
are communicated to the producers so this constant monitoring
ensures that the best selection of fruit is available
at all times.
Traceability ensures we monitor the Bonita product throughout
the supply chain. Our traceability system is compliant
with the General Food Law 178/2002.
At Bonita, residue monitoring at the North American port-of-discharge
is an on-going FDA inspection protocol to ensure that
all Bonita products fulfill the current United States
guidelines.
