Our Food Safety Efforts

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Program

The HACCP Program was developed by NASA to protect astronauts from food-borne illness by ensuring the safety of food products from ranch to receipt. HACCP strives for total safety at every stopping point in the production of food by rigorous avoidance of both biological and non-biological contaminants.

Artisan's Pride introduced a HACCP plan without a regulatory authority demanding it be done. Our company has taken on this program to increase the level of safety for our customers and extended family. We are pleased to be one of the first "small volume" retailers to integrate a HACCP plan in Oklahoma as well as the first business in Norman to utilize HACCP. For more information on HACCP visit the USDA website here.

To ensure customer safety as well as regulatory compliance, we use only NSF certified equipment. NSF certifies the safety and cleanable conditions of food service products to ensure the safety of consumers. You can read more about NSF standards for safety and sanitation here.
