Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification
Non-GMO
Peanut-free facility and peanut-free certification
Kosher certification

Rigorous monitoring

Since most of the fruit that Fruit d’Or processes is harvested in its own fields, the company’s agronomists are there to support producers at each step of production. Quality control teams also monitor growing, harvesting, and processing practices to meet rigorous quality control standards. The same care is taken all the way down the chain, from the field to final delivery.
