Quality and Compliance Certifications

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a globally recognized and preventive-based food safety system. The HACCP certification ensures that our bulk food distribution processes are designed, implemented, and monitored to identify and control potential food safety hazards. This proactive approach allows us to mitigate risks and prevent the occurrence of foodborne illnesses or contamination. 

By following HACCP principles, we analyze every step of our distribution chain, from receiving bulk food products to their storage, handling, and shipping, ensuring that proper controls are in place to safeguard product integrity and consumer safety.

ISO certifications provide a comprehensive framework for managing various aspects of our bulk food distribution operations. ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized quality management standard that ensures our processes meet stringent customer requirements and are continuously improved. Achieving ISO 9001 certification, demonstrates a commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality services and products to our customers. Adhering to ISO 22000:2018, which is specific to food safety management systems, demonstrates dedication to implementing effective food safety management practices, encompassing aspects such as supplier control, food handling, storage, and transportation. 

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification ensures that our bulk food distribution operations adhere to strict quality standards and comply with regulatory requirements. GMP covers aspects such as hygiene, cleanliness, sanitation, and documentation, ensuring that our facilities and processes are designed to maintain the safety and integrity of the bulk food products we distribute. 

By following GMP guidelines, we promote a culture of continuous improvement, guaranteeing that our distribution centers and personnel consistently meet the highest quality standards.                

The Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification is a globally recognized food safety and quality management program. It sets rigorous standards for the entire food supply chain, including bulk food distribution. By obtaining SQF certification, Ovation Distribution demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the highest levels of food safety, quality, and compliance. The SQF certification provides assurance to our partners and customers that our distribution processes adhere to industry best practices and meet the strict requirements of the SQF program.                                

For organic food products, Ovation Distribution ensures compliance with relevant organic certifications, such as USDA Organic (United States Department of Agriculture) or EU Organic (European Union). These certifications verify that our organic bulk food products are produced and   handled in accordance with strict organic farming and processing standards. By holding organic certifications, we provide our customers with the confidence that our organic offerings are free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).                                

Fair Trade is a movement that aims to empower farmers and workers in developing countries by providing them with fair wages and better working conditions. Fair Trade certification is a third-party verification   process that ensures products meet the ethical standards set forth by Fair Trade organizations. These standards include fair pay, gender equality, safe working conditions, and community development initiatives. When you see the Fair Trade label on our bulk food products, you can be confident that they were produced and traded in a way that respects human rights and environmental sustainability.
