Food safety and certification requests
Fresh produce handling depends on documentation that is specific to a facility, shipper and commodity. We confirm those details directly rather than publishing claims that may not apply to your shipment.
We do not publish unconfirmed certifications
Certification logos and audit claims only mean something when they are tied to the facility and shipper on your shipment. If you need certification details, our team will provide the documentation that actually applies to what you are buying.
Request documentationWhat to include in a documentation request
- The commodity and, if known, the shipper or facility
- The document types your audit or customer requires
- Whether the request covers conventional, organic or both
- Your delivery markets and the timeframe you need it by
- The contact who should receive the documentation
Handling and cold chain
Produce is handled through refrigerated warehousing and transportation across our network, including warehouse locations in Progresso Lakes, Texas and Nogales, Arizona, and a farm and packing house in Sycamore, Georgia. For details on a specific lane or commodity, ask your sales representative.
