At California Garlic Company, food safety is more than a priority—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, safe, and reliable products to our customers, supported by rigorous standards and processes throughout our supply chain.
Our production plant holds certifications that demonstrate our dedication to safety and quality, including SQF (Safe Quality Food) and Organic certifications. These credentials reflect our compliance with stringent global standards, ensuring that our operations meet or exceed industry benchmarks for food safety and quality assurance.
In addition to our internal protocols, we work exclusively with trusted vendor partners who share our commitment to safety and quality. Our suppliers adhere to strict food safety systems, including HAACP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative), and BRC (British Retail Consortium) standards. Each of these frameworks ensures that every stage of the supply chain, from sourcing to delivery, is monitored and controlled to mitigate potential risks.
To further validate the integrity of our products, all vendors are required to provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each product they supply. This COA serves as a critical checkpoint, confirming that the product meets defined safety and quality parameters before it even reaches our facilities.
Our commitment to safety doesn’t end there. Upon receipt of any product, we perform additional testing to ensure compliance and quality. These tests are conducted at an independent, certified laboratory, providing an extra layer of assurance and transparency. Only after the product passes these rigorous checks is it approved for release to our customers.
This comprehensive approach to food safety reflects our dedication to protecting the health and trust of our customers. By combining industry-leading certifications, strict supplier requirements, and independent testing protocols, California Garlic Company continues to set the standard for safety, quality, and reliability in the food industry.
