SafetyChain Software is pleased to announce that Dole Fresh Vegetables has gone live with SafetyChain for Food for a fresh approach to its food safety initiatives.
"At Dole, food safety is always our first priority," said Nye Joell Hardy, Dole Fresh Vegetables' Senior Food Safety Manager. "We cannot wait for suppliers' safety assessments - we take a pro-active, prevention-based approach. We ensure all food safety programs are followed at the start of every point of production, from planting to harvest to post-harvest.
Additionally, we are taking steps that prepare us for compliance with announced and anticipated FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rules. We partnered with SafetyChain because it has the food safety technology innovations, capabilities, prevention-focus and customer responsiveness that meet our needs exceptionally well."
"For today's complex food supply chain, combined with regulatory, non-regulatory and customer-driven compliance challenges, such as the FDA's recently announced FSMA preventative control for human food and produce rules, realtime safety information with traceable data is critical.
We're very excited to work with the forward-thinking team at Dole Fresh Vegetables to help them realize their vision of pro-active safety assessments and on-demand audit readiness, and are pleased to welcome them to the SafetyChain customer community," said Barbara Levin, SafetyChain Senior Vice President and Co-Founder.
