Food Safety
ZAMBIAFresh is commited to offering the highest quality fresh produce that is safe, nutritious and delicious through a multi-pronged approach to food safety.
Food safety starts with the farmer. Our suppliers are required to implement our Rule of 5 quality standards when preparing produce to be sent to market.
Next, ZAMBIAFresh has partnered with California-based technology company Ripplenami to develop a mobile digital platform for ZAMBIAFresh that delivers a “Fresh-to-farm” traceability solution.
The Ripplenami application will be rolled out throughout the ZAMBIAFresh value chain to provide consumer traceability and security for food safety.
Lastly, food safety will be monitored at the market site with regular testing of produce for residues of crop chemicals, fertilizers and the presense of moulds and Aflotoxins.
