Since the mid-1990s, Berryhill Foods in Fraser Valley, B.C., Canada—with its rich, fertile soil conditions and temperate climate—has been providing premium blueberries and raspberries to a range of customers. Although Berryhill’s customers vary, their exacting standards do not. These customers demand stringent adherence to safe quality assurance measures, particularly when it comes to detecting and eliminating metal particles in the raw berries prior to shipment.
To meet Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Safe Quality Food (SQF) and other food safety guidelines, the berry farmer relies on nine Eriez metal detectors in its various plant operations. And management says plans are underway to install additional Eriez metal detectors.
