\u201cFood safety, to me, is a commitment to excellence that guides every decision we make,\u201d said Jonathan James, Senior Director of Food Safety and Laboratory Services. \u201cIt means applying science, vigilance, and continuous improvement to ensure that the food we produce is as safe as it can possibly be.\u201d That commitment is reflected throughout the company, including in the recent accreditation achievements of the Wayne-Sanderson Farms Corporate Microbiology and Chemistry Laboratories. Through a dedication to quality, scientific excellence and rigorous standards, the laboratories have successfully achieved and maintained ISO\/IEC 17025 and USDA Accredited Laboratory Program (ALP) accreditations, demonstrating their ability to deliver accurate and reliable testing according to internationally recognized standards. Kimberly Jefferson, Corporate Laboratory Manager, emphasized the critical role laboratory testing plays in supporting food safety efforts. \u201cOur food safety approach is rooted in verification, not assumption\u2014we don\u2019t rely on hope; we back safety with proven evidence through laboratory testing.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Melinda Hollins, Corporate Food Safety Manager, food safety is ultimately about protecting the people who enjoy our products. \u201cFood safety is deeply important to me because it focuses on protecting people and ensuring the food families bring to their tables is safe to eat,\u201d she said. \u201cIt also involves continuously improving processes through data, accountability, and teamwork.\u201d As we recognize World Food Safety Day, we celebrate the many professionals across Wayne-Sanderson Farms whose expertise and dedication help uphold those standards every day.<\/p>\n
\u201cBehind every safe product is a team of highly technical, strategic, and science-driven experts working tirelessly\u2014often behind the scenes\u2014with one clear objective: to support our operations in delivering safe, high-quality food to a hungry world,\u201d said Juanfra DeVillena, Senior Vice President of Quality Assurance and Food Safety. \u201cToday, we recognize their commitment, their expertise, and their relentless pursuit of excellence. Because food safety isn\u2019t just a priority\u2014it\u2019s our responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
