| North Bay is committed to consumer health and
safety.
North Bay growers have high production standards
and comply with Food Safety Programs
& Practices that promote the safe cultivation and distribution
of fresh, nutritious, contaminant-free produce. Such programs outline
appropriate practices for production, handling, pest management,
fertilizer use and transportation. Our growers regularly review
safety measures for adequacy and effectiveness and several also
voluntarily submit to third-party evaluations of their systems.
As a fresh produce importer, North Bay strongly supports initiatives
that promote physical product security during production, transportation
and importation. We are currently participating in the Customs
Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) and complying with
the new voluntary Country
of Origin (COO) labeling standards, established by the USDA.
North Bay imported product is subject to all U.S.
Customs Service import safety and security measures.
North Bay staff at each of our Warehousing & Packing Facilities inspect domestic and imported product for freshness and oversee that
it is properly and securely handled and distributed. In the event
that potentially hazardous or illegal products reach the market,
North Bay is prepared to address the concern quickly and effectively
with our Product Recall-Consumer Complaint Program. In addition,
we utilize a positive lot identification system that allows us to
thoroughly track all of our products.
