Process
Star Snax believes that Food Safety and Quality can be achieved through a simple process. First, Star Snax only sources raw materials from third-party certified suppliers, inspecting them before use. This ensures that we are getting the best possible raw materials. After all, this is where our product starts. During manufacturing and for food safety, the following procedures are implemented…
In-process manufacturing results must conform to established specifications
The final product is reviewed for acceptable results and packaging requirements
All ingredients and finished goods are stored in a secured environment to prevent contamination or adulteration
A high degree of Sanitation employed at all times
Strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP) at all times
Continuous Pest Control Program
Ingredients containing Allergens are stored separately. Equipment is thoroughly cleaned after the manufacturing of a product that contains an Allergen to prevent cross-contamination and is tested for before releasing the line for the next item.
Star Snax educates our employees about all of our products. Star Snax completes the process by assuring that the highest quality product is obtained through frequent testing of the product that is in-process by our qualified Technicians and Managers.
