Company (WEB) is an environmentally-friendly operation from the ground
up. Every aspect from planting seeds to packing sweet potatoes is
constantly monitored. Our GLOBAL GAP
certification attests to our commitment to food safety and land
stewardship. All of our management staff is certified by the USDA Audit
Program for Good Agricultural Practices (GAP's) and Good Handling Practices
(GHP's). In addition, our company follows the In-Plant Food
Safety/Hygiene Audit and Training program by the American Institute of Baking

for best practices for the global production of horticultural products.
The aim is to ensure integrity, transparency and harmonization of global
agricultural standards. This includes the requirements for safe food production
that respects worker health and safety, environmental protection and
animal welfare issues. USDAprovides an audit-based verification program
that will attest to participants’ voluntary adherence to the Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA) “ Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables” (FDA guidance document). Auditors are
licensed fresh fruit and vegetable inspectors, and are trained in the
technical specifications of the GAP and GHP Audit Verification Program. USDA-AMS
has worked with the States to develop the program, and ensure program
integrity, uniformity, and consistency nationwide. We also participate in a
GFSI audit of the packing and processing facilities for adherence to Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP's), plant sanitation standards and employee
hygiene. The food safety audit is conducted by a professionally trained
staff of food safety auditors. Food processors who participate in the
in-plant audit program receive a complete examination and technical assistance
