PLANT OF THE YEAR
Honoring those that go above and beyond
Every year, our food safety team conducts hundreds of Food Safety GMP Audits, HACCP verifications, and Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audits on our DFA member facilities as one part of our continuing member services in the realm of food safety.
At the end of the audit year, the DFA food safety team nominates companies they think showcased the highest level of food safety, quality, and consistency. The review process is strenuous, every year our team searches for excellence, and discovers it many times over among our DFA member facilities.
