Our Suppliers
A Commitment to Integrity
When it comes to our ingredients, safety and integrity are non-negotiable. We take great pride in our rigorous supplier approval process which ensures that every ingredient we source meets or exceeds the standards our customers expect.
The foundation of our exceptional products lies in our suppliers. When evaluating suppliers, we prioritize those who have obtained Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards. But we don’t just accept a certificate and move on. Our Food Safety, Quality, and Regulatory (FSQR) team examines each supplier’s process to ensure they meet high requirements around hazard analysis and critical control points, food fraud defense, and product traceability. We also evaluate non-supplier factors, like country-of-origin risks and product specific risks. We scorecard and monitor all our suppliers on an ongoing basis. And our pre-shipment inspection and analysis program means that every product we source is sampled and tested before it leaves its origin to minimize the risk of any non-conforming product entering the supply chain.
We also partner with a select number of processing partners in the United States and Europe, allowing us to transform raw agricultural commodities into high value ingredients. These partners share the same commitment to food safety and integrity that we do and are selected after careful review and inspection.
Working with Red Oak gives you the confidence and peace of mind that we’ve done all the heavy lifting to bring sound, safe, high integrity ingredients to your supply chain.
