Food Safety Practices

All of the products shipped by Wada Farms are sampled and tested for any detectable levels of pesticides or herbicides by an independent food safety labratory.  We use a HAACP program that includes an independently administered trace-back enablement system.  Produce is date and source coded, enabling trace back to the field where it was grown. 

 

Wada Farms also supports the Produce Traceability Inititiative (PTI) and is compliant with each of the required milestones to date.  In addition to case level produce traceability through GTIN codes, we also work with HarvestMark™ to allow end consumers the ability to trace back where their produce is grown on the individual item level. 

 

Our value-added convenience "cook in package" products are triple washed and immersed in FIT™ produce wash and packaged in an approved food processing environment.  Shipping/holding areas are climate controlled and we have pest management systems in place maintained by third party contractors. 

 

Every year our farms undergo USDA GAP audits, with our shipping facilities performing USDA GHP audits.  Wada Farms is also in the process of becoming a global food safety approved supplier through Primus.
