Selecting our Produce

As the first line of defense in our stringent food safety program, we require a thorough documentation package from any potential new supplier partner. Some items we require are third-party audit reports, signed letters of guarantee, and certificates of insurance, among many others.

Each potential new supplier partner is vetted by our Quality Assurance and Food Safety team before the first purchase order. To maintain an approved status, established supplier partners must routinely submit updated documentation to ensure that they are maintaining the most up-to-date food safety standards.

We are proud to partner with iFoodDS to provide a digital documentation platform for our supplier partners.
