Food Safety and Quality Control for Export
Quality Control
Quality control is at the heart of everything we do at Chihade International. With a USDA inspector on site at our 64,000 sq. ft. facility, we maintain rigorous standards for every product we handle—from proteins and frozen goods to specialty and organic items.
Our quality assurance process covers all aspects of the export journey: verifying correct product specifications, managing shelf-life requirements, ensuring accurate labeling and ink-jet dating, and confirming compliance with destination country regulations. We work closely with our 300+ vendor partners to guarantee that only the freshest and best-quality products are shipped.
We are licensed to represent the Certified Angus Beef® brand, which requires meeting some of the highest quality benchmarks in the industry. Our in-depth knowledge of import requirements—including USDA, health certificates, halal documentation, and certificates of origin—ensures every shipment arrives fully compliant and ready for market.
