Food Safety & Quality Assurance
At Kitchening & Co., food safety is built into every step of our production process. We operate under an SQF Fundamentals – Intermediate certification, delivering structured, audited systems aligned with global standards set by the Safe Quality Food Institute.
Our facility follows a preventative, risk-based approach using HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) principles to identify and control potential hazards before they impact product quality or safety.
Our programs include:
- HACCP-based food safety plans
- Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) with routine swabbing and verification
- Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and sanitation controls
- Allergen management and label verification
- Full ingredient and lot traceability
- Preventive maintenance and supplier approval programs
These systems ensure consistent product quality, audit readiness, and reliable supply for retail, foodservice, and wholesale partners.
We maintain a strong culture of continuous improvement through ongoing audits, staff training, and system refinement so our partners can have confidence in every shipment.
