• Monitoring our plant’s Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Program
• Performing pre-operational and operational sanitation inspections
• Performing on-line product inspections
• Net weight verification
• Recording and reporting the results to production management to insure that quality standards and customer specifications are met.
• Food Safety – Our commitment to food safety has resulted in the installment of modern technologies and programs. The following are some of the pathogen reduction interventions we at L & H Packing Co. use:
• Steam vacuums, which remove unwanted organic material by a strong vacuum and sanitize the carcass surface immediately.
• Carcass wash and organic acid rinse systems, which immediately after the hide is removed and prior to evisceration removes bacteria, before they have the opportunity to attach to the carcass surface and start growing. This is followed by the organic acid rinse that provides a significant kill step for any surface bacterial that might remain.

Finally the newly developed hot water pasteurization cabinet, where each carcass (inside and out) is showered by pressurized hot water. Then again, each carcass side is treated with a final organic acid rinse. The second "one – two" punch of hot water and organic acid puts the final food safety touch on each carcass. These modern day combatants are universally recognized as the most significant microbiological interventions that fight unwanted bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella, and E.coli 0157:H7.

Programs such as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), a science based system, which is monitored by USDA, focuses on key areas of the meat production process that must be controlled in order to prevent food safety problems. Our Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) enhance the principles of HACCP.

Ongoing training, a willingness to use new technologies and a total commitment from top to bottom has enabled us to achieve excellence in Food Safety and Quality Assurance.
