Here at Charlie's, we have an unwavering commitment to food safety and sanitation. We continually strive to set the highest standards for others to follow.

Here’s what we are doing to safeguard our products and our customers:

• Unbroken cold chain throughout our facility and distribution system.
• Third party food safety inspections. We hold the highest rating possible with ASI.
• Complete HACCP program for all products entering and leaving our warehouse.
• Full, written and tested recall procedure/system.
• GMP training for employees.
• Master sanitation schedule for facility and fleet.
• Weekly monitored pest control programs.
• Source programs with proven and trusted suppliers.

We contract with ASI (American Sanitation Institute) for independent third party audits of our food safety practices. ASI is a nationally recognized leader in the food service inspection industry with over 70 years of experience.

ASI Audits thoroughly address Food Safety, Pest Control, Employee Practices, Facility Grounds, and Building Conditions.

Through ASI we have developed a Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. Originally developed by NASA, the HACCP system identifies all the points of potential hazard for food safety in advance, and develops safety procedures to control all of these critical points. All of our food handling employees receive HACCP training and participate in maintaining these controls.

Charlie's Produce has been recognized for "Superior Performance" by ASI, for three consecutive years with their highest, 'Excellent' rating for food safety.

We also undergo regular inspections by the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies.
