FOOD SAFETY

Food safety is more than a goal at SugarCreek. It is a core principle.

Food safety begins with a mindset. For us, that mindset started with our founder John S. Richardson. Why create a company unless we could deliver products that were not only superior, but also safer and more consistent than those of our competitors?

At SugarCreek, food safety involves constant training and auditing of every system in every facility, and it takes place at all levels of the organization, from executive to production teams. A standard we continue to live by nearly half a century later, it's a pledge we make to the more than 50 national brands and labels who are our customers.

HACCP

 

SugarCreek launched HACCP programs in each plant starting in 1996.

With the economy on the rebound, consumers are dining out more frequently. The problem? Most of your kitchen staff is unskilled and new to the industry. That’s a recipe for disaster in the fast pace of a restaurant kitchen.
