FoodTrust - Connections

I was talking with Colleen the other day and she mentioned that with the new crop being harvested they were starting to get busier with quality control inspections. Colleen is in charge of Quality Control for FoodTrust.

Inspections! What a great idea for a post!

Sherry is off on maternity leave, so Colleen has hired Harvey to help out with inspections. He and Jana will be at the packers almost every day watching the grading lines and making random inspections of the boxes full of fresh P.E.I. potatoes destined for stores in Ontario and Quebec.

It can be a tough job lifting the 50 lb. boxes of potatoes over to the inspection table all day. But Harvey and Jana know it is an important part of the job. Without them some quality issues could slip by and create problems for FoodTrust’s reputation as a supplier of high quality potatoes.

They look at every potato in the box very carefully, scoring them for quality issues. If the quality does not meet our strict specifications the whole box of potatoes go back to the grading line for re-grading. If too many boxes fail they all might have to be re-graded. Fortunately that rarely happens.
