About Food Safety

Red Blossom strawberries are hand-picked and field-packed December through October.  Packed pallets are expedited from the field to one of Red Blossom’s fully modernized, forced air coolers, where every berry is chilled to an optimal 32-34 degrees F.  To ensure only the freshest, healthiest berries reach customers, Red Blossom Farms has allied itself with Primus Labs and Agricultural Data Systems to create a thorough, food safety network. 

Primus Labs’ auditing provides a third party verification system to ensure Red Blossom follows the most up-to-date food safety practices.  Primus’ inspects, audits and conducts randomized testing to all ranches, harvest crews and cooling facilities to confirm safe, healthy practices are established and maintained day-to-day.  Please visit www.primuslabs.com to view Red Blossom’s latest field audits and testing results.

Red Blossom has recently contracted with ADS to fulfill a thorough, on-line, trace back system.  All clamshells are tagged with an encoded sticker conveying date picked, grower, ranch, ranch block and crew.  Each package’s sticker is scanned and posted on-line at the end of the day so we have immediate source verification of each clamshell unit.  Every tray, every clamshell is tagged for complete traceablility from field to consumer.
