Our Promise

Traina Foods is committed to its roots still creating products the old-fashioned way, taking advantage of our rich Central Valley soil, mountain water, and the California sun. Combining 90 years of experience and tradition with the most advanced state of the art technology and quality assurance program is Traina Food's recipe for premium products.

Traina Foods believes in nurturing long-term relationships with people by working closely with our customers, our employees and our community to fulfill every commitment we make.  
 

Sustainability in Action

Traina Foods is continually working to incorporate new technology and farming practices so that we not only meet our present needs but work to reduce the negative impact for our future generation.

We process over 50 million pounds of fruit each year by harnessing the power of the sun. In fact, we process more fruit for less energy than nearly any other manufacturer in the U.S.   We’re also putting the sun to work at our reprocessing/packaging plant, where solar panels will supply 100% of our energy needs.

Traina Foods offers one of the largest lines of Organic Dried Fruit in the world, and while we continue to increase the acreage of our organic orchards and crops, we are always looking to improve and implement water efficiency by reducing irrigation runoff, incorporating new water drip lines and keeping the soil covered with vegetation or mulch.
 

Standards and Practices

With over 90 years of experience, our family and loyal staff have worked hard to develop and earn trust and loyalty from our customers by providing consistent quality, value, and innovation. During this time, Traina Foods has created extensive quality assurance programs that not only help us to produce great tasting California Sun Dried Fruit but products that are safe to eat.

HACCP

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point is the food safety standard set by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.

• Analyze hazards. Potential hazards associated with a food and measures to control those hazards are identified. The hazard could be biological, such as a microbe; chemicals, such as a toxin; or physical, such as ground glass or metal fragments.
• Identify critical control points. These are points in a food's production--from its raw state through processing and shipping to consumption by the consumer--at which the potential hazard can be controlled or eliminated. Examples are cooking, cooling, packaging, and metal detection.
• Establish preventive measures with critical limits for each control point. For a cooked food, for example, this might include setting the minimum cooking temperature and time required to ensure the elimination of any harmful microbes.
• Establish procedures to monitor the critical control points. Such methods might include determining how and by whom cooking time and temperature should be monitored.
• Establish corrective actions to be taken when monitoring shows that a critical limit has not been met--for example, reprocessing or disposing of food if the minimum cooking temperature is not met.
• Establish procedures to verify that the system is working properly--for example, testing time-and-temperature recording devices to verify that a cooking unit is working properly.
• Establish effective recordkeeping to document the HACCP system. This includes records of hazards and their control methods, the monitoring of safety requirements and action is taken to correct potential problems. Sound scientific knowledge must back each of these principles: for example, published microbiological studies on time and temperature factors for controlling foodborne pathogens.
