Picking & Washing
All of our products are sourced from growers who comply with strict hygiene practices and ethical rules. Our fruits and vegetables are picked at the peak of perfection. After being harvested, they are meticulously washed, and then they are quickly frozen in order to maintain their taste and nutritional value.
Sorting & Inspection
Sorting and inspection are considered to be among the most important steps in the handling process. Product quality and evaluation are fundamental aspects in the production of frozen fruits and vegetables. Eagle-eyed workers pick out and separate any products that are deemed to be less than perfect.
Packaging & Freezing
Before being packed and frozen, some fruits and vegetables must be pitted and sliced by machines. After this step, the products go through the quick-freezing process. Fruits and vegetables are frozen very soon after being harvested. They then travel to our packing facilities to be placed into retail bags. Our British Columbia facility both freezes and packs local fruits.
Quality Assurance
We are focused on delivering consistent quality. We package the majority of our products at our own facilities in order to control the quality. We run regular and random micro-biological tests and pesticide residue analysis on our fruits and veggies at our quality control lab in order to ensure that the products we receive meet our food safety standards.
Distribution
Our products are only delivered to you after verifying that they meet our quality standards. We work with our clients and retailers to market our products in Canada, USA, Australia and Taiwan. In fact, Nature’s Touch packages most of the frozen fruits consumed in Canada. We package fruit under our own brands and for various private-label brands.
