Five Key Takeaways:

Quality Control: Quality starts with using disease-free seeds. The AG team checks soil and plant samples to ensure high-quality crops. This helps plan production and meet customer needs.
Managing Contamination Risks: The AG team knows the fields well and reduces risks before potatoes reach the plant. Technologies like sorters, X-rays, and metal detectors help find and remove contaminants during production.
Certifications and Standards: Facilities follow certifications like the BRC audit to ensure food safety. Customers may request specific audits. Internal checks help maintain consistent quality.
Sampling Practices: Samples are taken throughout the growing season, including soil, plant tissue, and potatoes. This provides detailed information about crop quality, helping make informed decisions.
Use of Technology: Advanced technology like vision systems and sorters helps maintain quality and find defects and contaminants, ensuring the final product meets high standards.
