Food Safety - South Africa

What does Food Safety mean?

Food safety is the practice of handling, preparing, transporting, and storing food in ways that prevent foodborne illnesses, contamination, and spoilage. For CH Logistics, food safety is a top priority, especially given our focus on perishable and high-value fresh produce destined for discerning global markets.

Our food safety management system is built on internationally recognized standards such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), ISO 22000, and Global GAP. We work closely with growers, packers, and carriers to ensure that all products meet or exceed legal and customer-specific safety requirements. This includes strict hygiene protocols at every touchpoint, regular staff training, and continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity throughout the cold chain.

CH Logistics uses advanced technology, such as DeltaTrak loggers and IoT sensors, to provide real-time visibility and alerts for any deviations that might compromise food safety. We also manage all traceability and recall documentation, ensuring that every product can be tracked from farm to final customer.

All our facilities and processes undergo regular audits and inspections by internal and independent bodies, and we maintain transparent communication with our clients about food safety standards and incidents.

For exporters and importers, partnering with CH Logistics means mitigating the risk of product recalls, regulatory sanctions, and reputational damage. Our proactive approach to food safety ensures that your goods consistently arrive in top condition, meeting the highest standards of quality and consumer trust.
