Food Safety

Cal-Organic Farms knows it is important for you and your family to be confident in the safety of the produce you serve and consume. Our safety standards are among the highest in the industry. We work continuously for your safety in applying Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This entails monthly self audits with annual third party audits. We evaluate the areas around and on our farm that could lead to possible contamination of our products. We monitor all applications made to our crops before the first seeds are sown to the last weed hoed. Your safety and confidence are of the utmost importance to us!

The safety standards of Cal-Organic are among the highest in the industry. One way we work for your safety is applying Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP- pronounced "hassip"). The FDA adopted this food safety program 30 years ago during the astronaut program focusing on preventing hazards that could cause food-born illnesses by applying science based controls. Cal-Organic has a HACCP program in place for you to identify potential hazards in the handling of our food. Some of the ways we do this is by analyzing the potential hazards associated with all foods, identifying critical control points in the foods production, and establishing extensive preventive measures to control all aspects of our production. We have effective record keeping to document our HACCP system. These include records of potential hazards and its control methods, the monitoring of safety requirements, and the actions taken to correct potential problems. Your safety and confidence are of the utmost importance to us! We are always "FARMING WITH PRIDE AND INTEGRITY."
