Pillars of Safety
Public health is our top priority, and we are proud that we’ve created a system that protects not only the end consumer but our Wo Chong Company, Inc., has always been a leader in food safety, pursuing certified third-party safety audits and verification programs to ensure the physical and biological safety of our products. Since our founding in 1935, WC has met or exceeded all local, state and federal food safety standards, and we ensure that our growers and supply network do the same.
Safe Quality Food Certification
In 2022, WC received the prestigious GFSI-accredited SQF Level 8 certification from the Safe Quality Food Institute, an organization with the mission to “deliver consistent, globally recognized food safety and quality certification programs based on sound scientific principles, consistently applied across all industry sectors.”
This certification involves extensive monitoring including both scheduled and unannounced facility audits, and is recognized by retailers and food service providers worldwide.
Throughout every step of our supply and distribution chain, we assess all products and associated processes to identify potential hazards and take any necessary action to eliminate, prevent and reduce risk.
Wo Chong follows or exceeds all Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP) set by the SQF Level 8 food safety program. GMP defines management and manufacturing practices, to ensure that food products consistently meet legislative and customer specifications. Some of these practices include:
• Employee training
• Personal hygiene and safety
Our standards already meet or exceed all those set by local, state and federal laws. Even so, our goal is constant improvement, something our food safety team and rigorous certified third-party auditing help us achieve.
At WC, we take every step we can—from preventative control, vendor verification, careful supply chain management, sanitation protocols, scrupulous record keeping and ongoing employee education—to make sure you can depend on us for fresh, safe, and delicious product.
