Food Quality and Compliance:
Superior Quality Foods' facility is USDA approved which places an extra burden on the company. According to Barriga, "Because we process meat, beef, turkey, ham, and chicken, we must have a USDA inspector on site and we have to follow very stringent rules. These rules apply not only to the manufacturing process, but also to accounting procedures. The USDA inspector has the ability to shut down the facility if something is wrong.

BatchMaster supports our certification by ensuring we maintain accurate records, and provides full product traceability in support of the Bioterrorism Act."
