When it comes to food safety, River Point Farms has long been an industry leader. We can ship out all the onions we want, but if we don't do it in a manner that protects those consuming our products, our brand and reputation are on the line.
We do pathogen testing on every 25 acres of product that we grow before we ever harvest the product
Our products have been evaluated for compliance, and we are Non-GMO Project verified
Our sister company and sole grower, AgriNorthwest, and our storage facilities are certified Global G.A.P.
Our fresh pack processes are Primus GFS certified
Our fresh cut facility and processes are certified SQF Food Safety and Quality Code
Our onions are sampled and tested by a third party and contain no pesticide residues within the limits of laboratory detection
Self-audits are conducted to ensure sanitation requirements – for personal hygiene, employee training, and pest control – are being met
We have a robust environmental monitoring program performing more than 100 environmental swabs per week
Our traceability program starts with all our onions coming from a single source – our sister company AgriNorthwest. Then we add lot coding and inventory management software so that every onion can be tracked from field to finished product. Data is captured at each step along the way – harvest, packing, processing, and shipping – to provide a readily available story of each onion’s journey.
