Food Safety
Today’s food manufacturers want to do business with suppliers that demonstrate supreme dedication to Food Safety. BIC follows a rigorous food safety and security program:
- Our state-of-the-art facility has clearly defined and segregated areas for food ingredients.
- We maintain the highest levels of food safety and sanitation, both through our HACCP plan and GMP procedures.
We are proud of our recent GFSI Certification (IFS Logistics, Higher Level).
BIC is fully compliant with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). A recent Foreign Supplier Verification assessment found that 94% of all food products we sell are made in the U.S. and that all foreign sources of supply are GFSI-certified.
BIC has partnered with the top food ingredient manufacturers to provide solutions to your most challenging food safety concerns:
- Consider pHASE food grade acidulant, as well as IFP encapsulated acidulants, to lower the pH – and thus extend the shelf life – of your formulas, without adversely impacting flavor.
- Hawkins has developed a line of next generation anti-microbials that are effective at low inclusion rates.
- Antioxidants, both synthetic and are effective at preventing rancidity and improving color and flavor retention
