Food Safety and Quality
Quality Assurance Is Our Top Priority
Bob Moore and his wife, Charlee, founded Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods in 1978 with a simple mission of bringing fresh, wholesome food to the world. Today, we’re a 100% employee-owned company, and quality assurance is involved in one way or another in all processes, from development to distribution.
Our Efforts Include:
- Continuous improvement in our food safety programs, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
- Ongoing certification under the globally recognized Safe Quality Food (SQF) standard
- Food safety training for all our employees as part of their new hire orientation, as well as annual re-training
