Food Safety

Calumet Diversified Meats Inc. is a leading processor of pork products that is committed to food safety and quality.

Calumet operates under a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) System and USDA Food Inspection Monitoring Service. These programs are comprehensive, science based food safety systems that allow food manufacturers to continuously monitor their production facilities and reduce the risk of food borne illness.

Calumet's commitment to high quality control standards includes the utilization of professional third party food safety auditing firms to perform inspections for our production facility; ensuring that our products are being produced in the safest possible manner. Additionally, Calumet Diversified Meats Inc. has a Four Star Inspection Policy that ensures we provide products and services that exceed our customers' expectations — every time.

USDA Inspectors and Calumet Quality Assurance Staff perform inspections throughout operations and concentrate on four critical areas:

• Receipt of raw material.

• Center cut loin production.

• Chop cutting production.

• Random evaluation of finished products.
