Food Safety

Long before the industry was focused on food safety, Misionero Vegetables recognized the importance of ensuring consumers knew their product was safe for consumption. In the early 80s, we were the first in the industry to conduct on-site microbiological testing. Today, our processing facilities exceed the strict standards set forth by USDA and FDA. Team members are recognized experts in the fresh cut industry, serving on both the CA LGMA and AZ LGMA Technical Boards and UFPA Food Safety & Technical Council.

Misionero is a vertically integrated company, beginning with seed and land selection, then to growing and harvesting, and finally processing and shipping operations; Misionero has the capability of tracing its products forward to retailers and back to the field.
