We take our responsibility to provide safe, wholesome food extremely seriously— it’s our #1 priority. Insuring safety is a multi-step process, starting with communicating and working closely with suppliers that share our rigorous commitment to quality control. We visit our grower partners around the world, inspecting fields to processing facilities. No product is considered for use until the HQO team has thoroughly sampled and tested every lot of product. This includes thorough chemical and microbiological analysis by certified laboratories recognized as leaders in their fields. Processing is conducted according to strict procedures that ensure that all products are of the highest quality.
