We are mindful that millions of families worldwide trust us to provide safe, wholesome food. We won’t let them down. Richter and Company Produce is committed to supplying only safe and wholesome fruits and vegetables. From our fields and orchards to the shipping box, our products are grown, packed and shipped to exacting standards. Our farms control every aspect of our operation to ensure that only the freshest produce arrives at your table.
Our Commitment to Food Safety
All of our farms use Good Agriculture Practices, Good Handling Practices, and Good Manufacturing Practices with voluntary audits to ensure that products are grown, harvested and packed in the safest possible conditions.
Years before food safety became the industry standard, Richter and Company hired Primus Labs to test and audit our operations independently.
Our packing facilities implement extensive cleaning and sanitation programs to ensure food safety. We closely monitor every area of the packing shed that comes in contact with fresh fruits and vegetables. The facilities and equipment are thoroughly cleaned after each operation to prevent contamination.
Farm employees are trained to properly clean facilities and care for every machine from top to bottom. Their training is supported by vigilant supervision to ensure that safe practices are implemented during every step of the growing, harvesting and shipping processes.
We take every precaution to see that our fruits and vegetables won’t be recalled. But if they were, we use the latest machines and software to implement a swift recall procedure. State-of-the-art technology allows us to trace our products from the neighborhood grocery store back to the field where it was grown and picked.
