United States-Ensuring safe meat.

UNITED STATES-SAFE MEAT.

PM Beef has been named a Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 Level 3 Certified Supplier by the SQF Institute, a division of the Food Marketing Institute. The Windom, Minn.-based company said in a press release it is the first U.S. beef harvest facility to receive such certification.

Securing this level of certification requires a food supplier to not only maintain good manufacturing practices and implement and follow a HACCP program, but also develop and maintain a quality and safety management system.

"This internationally recognized certification from a prestigious organization like the Food Marketing Institute is an external verification of our internal commitment to safety and quality," said Lisa Hernandez, the company’s vice president of quality assurance and food safety.

Hernandez said it has trained all of its employees for SQF requirements.
