Safety You Trust
We provide flavorful, nutritious and safe food products through well-known and trusted brands, such as Jennie-O Turkey Store, Hormel, Hormel Always Tender, Black Label and many more. Our consumers’ well-being is a top priority and always has been. Through innovative technology and strict adherence to proven procedures, Hormel Foods has established itself as a trusted source in the industry and a leader in food safety.
Technology
In each of our facilities, we train employees according to sanitation design and equipment principles and procedures, which we helped develop, encouraged by the American Meat Institute (AMI) to help prevent food-borne illness. Our research and development division produces many ideas for new procedures and technologies, including TRUETASTE™ technology—the key driver in our innovative Hormel® Natural Choice® products.
Audits and Training
We want retailers, foodservice customers and consumers to trust that the products we deliver are of the highest quality. All Hormel Foods and subsidiary facilities are audited for adherence to our quality, food safety and sanitation programs by internal staff as well as by several third party auditing organizations, including NSF Cook & Thurber and Silliker.
The quality, food safety and sanitation programs of suppliers of key ingredients are also evaluated by internal staff as well as by several third party auditing organizations. We make training a priority. To find more information on the training we provide for our employees, read our training section.
