Various safety programs serve as guidelines for egg farmers to ensure that consumers purchase eggs of the highest quality. Norco Ranch, a family-owned egg producer from Southern California, adheres to these programs by implementing quality assurance and food safety procedures that are certified by a variety of organizations. Some of these programs are the following:
Global Food Safety Initiative: GFSI is a private organization that is established and managed by the Consumer Goods Forum, an international association of retailers. Its drive for continuous improvement of food safety management systems has helped meat and poultry processors around the world.
Safe Quality Food Program: This program is recognized by the GFSI and integrates quality assurance and food safety programs. It is a leading global program that most retailers require from suppliers as it is their assurance that the products have met or exceeded all food safety regulations.
United Egg Producers: The UEP established back in 1994 a "5-star" total quality assurance food safety program with the objective of reducing the occurrences of Salmonella Enteritidis in hen farms. It was redesigned in 2009 to encompass other safety issues, allowing veterinarians and poultry scientists to monitor and ensure the safety of the eggs proactively.
California Egg Quality Assurance Program: This state-initiated program has its core components based on the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) and helps protect the eggs from salmonella and chemical residues.
Norco Ranch’s egg farms have guidelines, systems, procedures, and cross-functional teams that make sure their egg products are delivered safely and quickly to consumers in Southern California. The farms’ comprehensive multi-faceted quality assurance and food safety programs are continually monitored and certified by different organizations.
Norco Ranch eggs are locally produced – straight from the farm – daily for more than 40 years. Visit this website for more details about the multi-generational family-owned premier egg producer.
