Quality assured fresh produce is about ensuring food is safe to eat! Commonly, customers and the supply chain require compliance with specific programs for this purpose. There are also regulations and requirements that control access to specific markets.
Contaminated fresh produce can cause serious harm; such as food poisoning or injury. Quality assurance systems provide the framework to prevent harm from occurring and maintain the clean and green reputation of fresh produce.
Customers often require supply chain members (including growers) to comply with specific quality assurance programs. These programs are usually based on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) method of risk assessment and mitigation.

Fresh food businesses are faced with the challenge of creating a food safety culture, maintaining best practice and retaining customer confidence, while effectively managing overall costs.
Quality assurance in the food production sector is rigorous but defining quality assurance, knowing and assessing the food safety risks and doing your research on code compliance is a step in the right direction.
Defining quality assurance
Quality assurance (QA) schemes for fresh produce are designed to enable producers to demonstrate that their on-farm practices allow them to produce safe food products that meet food safety standards under the New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code).
Non-compliance with food safety laws can lead to fines, loss of business opportunity or even closure.
