At Newly Weds Foods, quality and food safety is top priority. We have strict procedures to ensure the delivery of the highest quality and safest wholesome products possible. Every step of the process is monitored, from supplier to customer, “farm to fork”.

Our commitment to food safety is reflected in the company’s programs supporting Quality and Food Safety/ Regulatory as well as Supplier Quality Management and Foreign Material Prevention. All Newly Weds Foods facilities have received food safety certification against the British Retail Consortium (BRC) GFSI benchmarked scheme. To guide our continuous improvement in the area of food safety, Newly Weds Foods has adopted the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) guidelines for good manufacturing practices (GMP’s) to further develop preventive controls and strengthen our HACCP Program.

Newly Weds Foods comprehensive food safety program meets or exceeds US regulatory requirements; as well as adheres to international food safety inspection agencies.

Our supply chain management programs extend quality and food safety expectations to our suppliers around the world. Each domestic and international supplier undergoes an in-depth approval process which includes a multi-step review and risk assessment. Suppliers receive a Newly Weds Foods Expectations Manual and audits are performed to ensure ongoing quality and food safety ingredient compliance.

Supply chain management provides global support to our international facilities located in Canada, Europe, China, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. Updates concerning globally approved or disqualified suppliers, individual supplier audit scores, change in supplier status and supplier ingredient issues is communicated monthly to each international facility. Supply chain management also focuses on emerging trends in the food industry.

Foreign material (glass, plastic, metal, etc.) is the major single cause of customer complaints received by food manufacturers, retailers, and enforcement authorities. Foreign material prevention is a major initiative for us. Recent attempts to reduce foreign material contamination in Newly Weds Foods products include the Ingredient Sifting Project and Factory Foreign Material Prevention and Control. The systematic approach used by Newly Weds Foods to combat foreign material contamination uses Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a factory based program designed to identify all potential foreign material risk and identify control measures.

At Newly Weds Foods, we believe that it’s our responsibility as a food company, and collectively as an industry, to ensure the highest quality ingredients. As Newly Weds Foods mission statement implies, “Our goal is to provide quality products and services that meet our customers’ requirements and expectations at all times.” These goals are accomplished with our dedicated commitment to product quality and safety.
