Produce and Grocery for Healthcare & Senior Living
Precision and Safety
When we think of healthcare, we think of precision, safety, HACCP. Our facility was purposefully envisioned, designed, and built with these food safety criteria at the forefront. We run on the same platforms as healthcare in terms of adhering to the most stringent policies and procedures to ensure safe food handling and the maintenance of safety throughout the supply chain. We know that our commitment to food safety is the most critical element in distribution to these customers. Our facility and the operation of an SQF certified building is the most effective way in which we deliver on this promise.
