We have a robust Food Safety Plan at our feed manufacturing facility, as required by the Food Safety Modernization Act.
Please see below for more details:
- Food Library: Our comprehensive Library gives guidance on what can and cannot go in the Mill.
- Bin: Mill dries, grinds and heats all food each night which reduces pathogens.
- Inspection: Every box of Food Grounds is inspected when it arrives at our facility.
- Manufacturing and testing: Our facility has a final microbial control step. We also run nutritional and toxicological tests on the final feed ingredient.
- Ingredient inclusion: Our final product is a feed ingredient, not a full feed. This means it can be added at a select inclusion rate that meets a chicken’s nutritional needs and ensures a balanced diet.
