Food Safety and Quality Assurance

Who can afford not to be serious about food safety? An outbreak of foodborne illness can ruin a restaurant’s reputation, turning a healthy business into a shadow of its former self. At U.S. Foodservice, nothing is more serious than food safety. As one of our core values, food safety is the foundation upon which our distribution systems and procedures exist.
U.S. Foodservice, Minnesota demonstrates its commitment to food safety by employing:

• A documented and verifiable HACCP program.
• Strict processing, labeling, and handling procedures specific to all commodities.
• Stringing supplier approval and routine audits.
• Allergen controls.
• Thorough sanitation and pest prevention.
• Traceability to each product’s origin.
• Product and facility security which prevents on-premise product adulteration.
• Transportation controls to ensure wholesomeness of inbound products.
• A comprehensive recall policy in the event of a product market withdrawl.
• Three levels of on-site food safety verification.
• Ongoing food safety training for employees and customers.
