Food Safety and Quality Assurance
Food Safety and Quality Assurance

Food Safety and Quality are the cornerstones of every Marzetti product. From design of the product in our labs, selection of vendors and procurement of the raw materials through production and packaging in our plants, food safety and quality are key criteria. Our production facilities throughout the country are rigorously inspected on a defined schedule both internally and by outside sources.

We utilize the global standard for food safety by participating in The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), a non-profit foundation and The Food Business Forum — CIES, the only independent global food business network with over 400 members. Their mission is continuous improvement in food safety management systems to ensure confidence in the delivery of safe food to consumers. This is a rigorous standard that looks at all phases of a business from design through distribution.

There are several certification audits that satisfy the GFSI. Marzetti has selected the British Retail Consortium as the food safety certification for all of our plants. The key element in any food safety program is the adoption and implementation of HACCP, a documented and effective food safety management system with control of factory environment standards, product, process and personnel.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point)
HACCP

Marzetti is one of nineteen food manufacturing facilities in the U.S. with accredited HACCP Lead Instructors on staff.

Marzetti developed a HAACP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) training workshop that is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance. This course meets the detailed curriculum requirements set forth by the Alliance. In addition, two Marzetti staff members are certified Lead Instructors for the International HACCP Alliance based on their years of experience and specialized training.

Having a certified in-house HACCP workshop enables Marzetti to offer numerous training sessions, resulting in many employees who have completed an accredited HACCP course and are able to effectively lead and participate in the facilities' HACCP teams.
