We receive and distribute over 200,000 cases of fresh and frozen food every day.

These aren't cases of widgets - this is the food that your families, and ours, buy in their local supermarkets and restaurants, and we want to make sure they’re handled properly.

Quality Control & H.A.C.C.P. Certification

Quality control at Quirch Foods is overseen by our in-house QC management team and incorporates product inspection, process management, and compliance with all local and federal food safety regulations.  Our quality control program includes:

• H.A.C.C.P. plans and certification programs for all 4 distribution centers
• In-house inspection of product upon arrival
• U.S.D.A. and U.S.D.C. inspections as required by law
• Traceability - every case is traceable throughout our distribution cycle via a unique serial number that is tagged to the case upon arrival at our facilities.

Supplier Inspections

Although there are many programs in place in the U.S. and around the world designed to ensure product safety, we feel it is important to make certain we do everything we can to confirm compliance for ourselves.

We perform on-site inspections and audits of our overseas suppliers every year.  We have inspected plants all over Asia and the Americas and assisted them in bringing their operations into compliance with H.A.C.C.P. and other food safety management programs.

The cost to us is significant, but we feel it is a sound investment in our on-going mission to make sure the products we deliver are safe.
