practices

We take our responsibility to deliver safe, quality produce very
seriously. In fact, it’s at the heart of what we do.

Our organization is certified to the SQF Food Safety for Food Sector Categories 4, 14, and 26. Further, we have consistently achieved a Superior rating for our Accredited HACCP Plan since 2004.

Simply, our organization is wholly committed to the fundamental importance of delivering the freshest, safest and highest quality produce, as it has been since our beginnings in 1991. Our Employee teams receive initial training and then regularly scheduled, on-going training in all aspects of our Food Safety and Food Security Plans. We have a Food Safety Team that is tasked with regularly reviewing all of our internal operating procedures and work practices for continuous improvement.

Our tailored, industry recognized computer system provides us the ability to internally track all lots of products traveling through our facilities. At a moment’s notice, we can identify which customers received what product from which vendor. It’s called one-up / one-back traceability. We are in compliance with The Bio-Terrorism Act of 2002. Our facilities are registered with the US Food and Drug Administration and are fully secured and monitored via a 24/7 continuous camera system covering our entire facility.

The importance, resolution and commitment to deliver only the safest, highest quality products permeates throughout every department and associate in our company.

Our QC Teams are comprised of individuals with combined decades worth of experience in the produce industry. We work closely with our vendors and the US Department of Agriculture Inspectors to ensure we are maintaining the integrity and quality of our produce as it moves through the supply chain. The importance, resolution and commitment to deliver only the safest, highest quality products permeates throughout every department and associate in our company.

maintaining the cold chain

Here at Primo, we are a studied advocate of the absolute necessity of maintaining the Cold Chain. What is the Cold Chain? Simply, it is the concept of moving product from its harvest to its optimal storage environment in the least amount of time and keeping it in that environment until it gets to the customer. You notice we say environment and not temperature. There are so many variables that can affect the quality of produce and, yes, temperature is probably the most important, but humidity, air flow and ethylene sensitivity also require consideration. And, here at Primo we take each and every variable into account when moving product.

It is important that products picked in the field are moved to their optimum storage environment as quickly as possible to preserve freshness. After proper cooling, product is then loaded onto refrigerated trucks and transported to the sealed, environmentally controlled docks at our facility.

Our warehouse was designed and built to ensure products would be stored in environments that would optimize freshness. It is divided into 7 different environmentally controlled atmospheres, each at the optimum temperature to support the products that it contains.

Our Food Safety Plan contains the framework that provides the foundation for maintaining ideal storage and transportation environments for our product. It also ensures that work practices are implemented to guarantee cleanliness and hygienic means of storing and transporting our product.

And, speaking of transporting, we excel at developing customized, flexible delivery schedules designed to meet our customers’ needs. Expect our uniformed, professional drivers to be at your door, ready to make the delivery when you want it.
