Food Safety Programs Initiated
Long before food safety became a hot
button, Markon developed stringent
specifications for all growers and
shippers packing our brands.

First Ice-Free Broccoli,
Cilantro, and Parsley
Steadfastly developing new ways to benefit
operators, Markon was the first to ship ice-
free products to reduce mess and waste.
The rest of the industry soon follows suit.
Industry Leading
Food Safety
We were the first to develop a measurable
safety program, to write detailed specifications,
and to implement regular field and facility
inspections.
5-Star Food Safety
Every case of Markon First Crop,
Ready-Set-Serve, and Markon
Essentials you purchase has met or
surpassed Markon's unparalleled
standards for food safety--our 5-Star Food
Safety
®
Program. It's that simple.
5-Star Food Safety is based on specifications,
inspections, and information at five key points--
in the field, at the shipping facility, during
transit, at the distributor, and in your kitchen.
