Diversified's Quality Assurance team is comprised of food professionals from diversity of educational backgrounds including Food Science, Microbiology and Manufacturing. The QA department provides ongoing support to the Technology, Product Development, Purchasing, National Accounts, and Manufacturing divisions of Diversified. While our primary objective is Food Safety, we also focus heavily on Food Quality. We help all departments comply with Governmental Regulations, Customer Specifications, Industry Standards, and Company Policies in order to ensure safe and wholesome products are delivered to our customers. As stated in our QA Manual - "Diversified Foods & Seasonings, Inc. acknowledges the authority of food regulatory agencies and is willing to cooperate fully within the guidelines of the law." We take that same attitude and apply it to our customers' expectations as well.

We maintain and staff on-site QA labs in all of our manufacturing facilities. This allows us to perform relevant tests and analysis in a timely manner to provide "real time" feed back to the manufacturing process. We perform microbiological testing, wet chemistry, organoleptic, and physical property analysis. We have developed testing methods for both raw ingredients and finished products, which provide our Purchasing Department with the information they need to monitor our ingredient suppliers. All of our technicians have relevant experience and are certified annually for competency with respect to their job duties. We also provide continuing education for our associates through on-line correspondence training.

Our QA Department plays a pivotal role in our efforts to comply with Customer and Third Party audit requirements. All of our facilities maintain extremely high scores from multiple auditing agencies. We have an established expectation of AIB Superior and Silliker Gold achievements. This can only be accomplished through the efforts of all departments working together. Collectively, we assure that the food products we sell are of the highest quality... After all, it's the Quality of your product that keeps your customer coming back.
