Food safety
Cargill is committed to managing risk, improving food safety and safeguarding quality control. Among the systems we have in place:
HACCP certification
HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) is a food manufacturing system developed by NASA to ensure food safety for astronauts while in space. All Cargill animal feed plants are HACCP certified, even though the U.S. government only requires facilities that manufacture food for humans to be HACCP certified. This is part of our corporate responsibility for safe feed and safe food throughout the supply chain.
Ingredient traceability
Our responsibility to our customers includes traceability of ingredients. Cargill traces and follows materials, ingredients and products throughout the supply chain.
Transportation standards
Cargill uses certified carriers and a dedicated trucking fleet to help maintain safety and quality standards.
