Safety

At Bee Sweet Citrus, food safety begins at the grove and is implemented at every stage of production.

On the farm, our growers harvest citrus under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and GFSI bench-marked standards. They also adhere to a strict Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) program that focuses on the following:

  • Compliance Documentation
  • Employee Safety
  • Environmental Testing
  • Field Sanitation
  • Pest Control
  • Packer Communication
  • Traceability
  • Fertilizer Management
  • Water Management
  • Soil Management

In the packing house, our team inspects all fruit upon arrival and adheres to rigorous Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines. Additionally, we comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations and FSMA guidelines. We’ve also established an Environmental Monitoring Program and have implemented an ATP monitoring procedure for post-sanitation.

By following a strict food safety program that focuses on mitigating and eliminating potential food safety risks, we can ensure our customers will receive fresh, high quality fruit every time they turn to our brand.
