Swift® – The First Name In Meat Safety.
Swift & Company®'s long history
of innovation isn't merely history – it's
an ongoing commitment. Here are just a few Swift “firsts“.
First ISO 9002 Certified* pork plant in America.
Because of its food safety excellence, Swift & Company®
had the first pork plant in America that was ISO 9002 Certified.* Since its 1999 certification,
another Swift pork plant also has been certified – giving Swift the only two ISO 9002
certified plants in the U.S.
First
Probiotic Feeding Program
Swift & Company® was the first major beef processor to
implement a probiotic feeding program – a revolutionary
natural feed ingredient. It is proven to reduce the level
of E. Coli in the digestive tracts of
live cattle by
50% compared to a standard diet.
First
100% Raw Material Testing of Ground Beef
Swift & Company® was first in the meat industry to institute
E.Coli 0157H7 testing on 100% of beef trim and/or ground
beef by lot. Full testing began at
all Swift facilities in summer, 2002.
First
In-line Product Enhancement
Swift & Company® was the first meat producer to inject
products with solutions before packaging.
This results in less handling
and repackaging, thus a safer product. It also reduces air exposure
during processing, which increases shelf life.
