Providing quality produce that is both safe, healthy and tasty involves stringent processes that we, at Fresh Pro International, maintain within our industrial plants and management.

We provide management training to ensure that all Food Safety and Quality Policy that relate to product safety, legality and quality are understood and applied across all involved staff members within the organization.

After a thorough assessment and evaluation of client requirements, our management is segregated into different sections of expertise to provide absolute customer satisfaction. We closely monitor the produce at every stage of the process, working on ways to improve the intermediate processes to make them more precise, on manpower to increase efficiency, on packaging materials so that the produce reaches you safely, on transportation facilities to ensure that the quality of the produce is not compromised and for each of these processes to be cost effective.

To reinstate the same training and to increase employee awareness, we regularly review the Food Safety and Quality policy during our Management Review Meetings and take efforts to update and display the Food Safety and Quality Policy across various common as well as prominent areas within the office space.

We maintain and follow strict hygiene regulations that match the Global Standard for Food Safety and HACCP to improve the effectiveness of the Systems. Our management is committed to meeting applicable Statutory and Regulatory requirements as well as taking the initiative to improve quality by addressing the requirements within the Corrective & Preventive actions.

This also ensures that there are lesser accidents, that employees know how to use each equipment with a knowledge of the safety regulations, and can engage in a healthy work environment that cares for the employee's health.
