At Concord Wholesale, our QA team utilizes in-house checklists and third-party inspection companies to ensure that, regardless of location or supply chain complexity, the food remains of the utmost quality. These strategic alliances enable us to maintain strict control over the industry’s food safety standards.
Certifications supported across our manufacturing and sourcing network include SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, HACCP, USDA Organic, Kosher, Certified Gluten-Free, and Non-GMO. Our food safety schemes are benchmarked against GFSI standards. As an importer/distributor, Concord maintains FDA food facility registration, FSVP compliance, and C-TPAT participation for cross-border trade.
Before a single product ships under the Concord Wholesale name, every processing and sourcing partner goes through a structured qualification review. Our FSQA team audits documentation, conducts or commissions facility inspections, and verifies that food safety systems meet our standards. Partners are monitored on an ongoing basis and reviewed annually to ensure consistent performance across our entire supply chain. We build long-term relationships with processors who share our commitment to transparency and accountability. That means open access to audit results, documented corrective actions, and a shared understanding that food safety is a continuous process, not a one-time checkbox.
Every supplier and processing partner in the Concord Wholesale network is held to rigorous food safety and quality standards across four core areas. We implement preventive microbiological controls and verify them through pathogen testing and environmental monitoring at the facility level. Soil and product chemical testing at origin confirms that pesticide levels, contaminants, and naturally occurring toxins are within safe thresholds before product enters our supply chain. Food safety systems at each partner facility are regularly audited and reviewed for continuous improvement. Throughout manufacturing, transportation, and delivery, we maintain documented Food Defense programs designed to prevent adulteration and eliminate food fraud risk.
We collaborate with industry-leading R&D teams to develop great-tasting, cost-effective formulas that meet the highest quality standards, helping bring your product vision to life and onto shelves at major retailers nationwide. Every new flavor and formulation moves through the same quality and food safety review as our established products. From concept to commercialization, we ensure every step is optimized for flavor, scalability, and long-term success. Our ingredient sourcing capabilities give our R&D partnerships a meaningful advantage. Access to premium frozen fruit, specialty oils, functional powders, and ethnic ingredients sourced directly from origin allows us to develop formulations that are both distinctive and commercially viable at scale.
We uphold strict food safety protocols throughout our handling and transport process, ensuring products remain at proper temperatures and arrive on time, every time. With detailed checklists, monitored cold chain logistics, and robust compliance programs in place, we protect quality and freshness from our facility to your desired location.
