Food Safety Statement
Primus GFS | FSPCA | PAO Organics
Food safety is fundamental to everything we do, shaping how products are received, packed, handled, and stored within our facility. Our customers rely on us to safeguard product integrity through strict temperature control, comprehensive traceability, and disciplined handling practices. Any product that does not meet our food safety and quality standards does not ship.
Our team follows clearly defined food safety, sanitation, and handling procedures every day to ensure consistency, accountability, and care at every step of the process. Growers, shippers, and product owners entrust us with their product while it is in our care, and we honor that responsibility by operating in full compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and industry standards.
