Food safety is Lusamerica’s
utmost concern, and all processing storage and distribution
decisions are made in order to uphold and maintain this principle.
Lusamerica's objective is not only to procure and accept seafood
produced under the most stringent food safety guidelines but
also to maintain its wholesomeness during the storage, processing
and distribution operations.
Lusamerica maintains a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point
(HACCP) based food safety program through out the entire plant
and in every process. HACCP is a science based, state-of-the-art
process for building safety into the production, handling
and storage of food. This approach allows for a system where
incoming shipments are randomly tested, tracked from the time
they reach the warehouse, through the process and storage
stages, and until it is shipped to the customer.
Lusamerica’s goal is to control the risk of foodborne
illness by using a HACCP based sanitation operation and employing
state of the art scientific procedures to protect the food
throughout the process. Having an independent third party
organization, such as SCS, ensures that the processes are
monitored and updated to ensure they meet or exceed food safety
guidelines.
