How Our HACCP and SQF Certifications Create a More Sanitary Storage Space
Food-grade warehousing is perhaps the most complex aspect of warehousing, as there are specific sanitary and handling tasks that require special consideration. First, there are strict standards and regulations set forth by the food industry to ensure the safety and quality of the products, these include (but are not limited to):
- Conducting hazard analysis of physical food hazards.
- Determining the critical control points (a point, step, or procedure in the handling process to which a control can be applied to minimize risk factors) in food production, storage, and transportation.
- Establishing a system to monitor control points to assess and ensure compliance.
- Documentating and recording the inflow and outflow of all products.
Beyond these, food-grade warehouses must also be exceptionally clean and organized. Our Calgary warehouse meets this requirement by being inundated with the 5S methodology, which is a system that helps organize, clean, and maintain a sanitary work environment. Some of the tasks involved with this include:
- Following a consistent cleaning schedule.
- Managing and discarding waste to prevent foodborne illness.
- Training all employees on sanitation tasks.
Security is also taken very seriously at our warehouse (24/7 monitored surveillance) because there can be no tampering with food products.
