Quality Standards

Growers Nuts go through a rigorous sorting process

Among the many traits that helped build the Growers brand, "high quality" is the one attribute that is most dear to the company. Every employee can sincerely profess to a concerted company-wide effort to maintain the high quality standard Growers has been known for.

Apart for developing great-tasting products, all employees are made to understand that Growers is a food company with the moral responsibility to produce and sell products that would not, in anyway, be harmful to consumer health. Everyone in the organization has a role to play in Quality Assurance.

The plant complies with the strictest health and sanitary codes

The Purchasing Dept. and QCG work closely together so that samples of each incoming shipment of raw material has to pass R&D laboratory tests and inspection before they are purchased and processed.

Every production batch is randomly tested for toxins and other harmful substances

Apart from maintaining the best production environment possible, the most critical part of production is in the Sorting process. Processed nuts go through several stages of sorting to make sure that only the best nuts go in each pouch that you find in the market.

The company also has in-plant facilities to determine aflatoxin levels as well as other contaminants to the lowest minimum level possible.

Quality Assurance does not stop at the production plant. As part of every employees shared responsibility in Quality Assurance, sales people only deliver the volume that is sufficient to cover the regular off-takes of their customers' outlets until the next delivery. Inventories of individual stores are monitored regularly through quality field audits. This practice assures end-consumers that they get a relatively fresh supply of Growers Nuts.
