Description
Redbarn maintains a comprehensive and vigilant program to be certain product containing salmonella is not shipped from our facility. Although salmonella usually will not result in a sick dog, it can cause sickness which can be serious in infants and the elderly. For this reason, FDA and state inspection agencies tend to concentrate a major portion of their resources in detection of salmonella contamination.
Salmonella is relatively easy to kill with heat pasteurization and all Redbarn products are processed at a temperature well above the point where salmonella is killed. All of our plant workers are uniformed, gloved and hair netted to prevent contamination at the packaging step. All of our product contact surfaces are sanitized prior to the start of the production day; again during the midday lunch break; and a third time during the daily cleanup cycle.
As you can see from the above information, the quality of our products is very important to all of us at Redbarn. We go to a lot of effort and expense to be certain that our factory ships product that is not only unique, long lasting and highly palatable but also is healthy and safe from a quality assurance standpoint. If we can clarify any issues or answer any questions with regard to the quality of Redbarn foods and treats feel free to me, Dave Andersen, Technical Director, or either of the owners of Redbarn, Mr. Howard Bloxam or Mr. Jeff Baikie.
