Nelson-Jameson Distribution Centers Earn 100% Scores in Safe Quality Food Audits

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marshfield, Turlock, and Amarillo are the latest distribution center locations to achieve the SQF Institute’s top global safety and quality certification

MARSHFIELD, WI - October 24, 2024 | Nelson-Jameson, a leading distributor in the food processing industry, has announced that its Marshfield, Turlock, and Amarillo strategic distribution centers have each earned a 100% score in their recent Safe Quality Food (SQF) audits. An SQF-registered site indicates a company’s commitment to providing quality products that are safely received, handled, stored, and delivered. A 100% score represents the highest level of safety and quality.


The score is the 8th straight 100% perfect rating at the Nelson-Jameson Turlock, Calif. strategic distribution center and the second 100% in the two audits of Amarillo, Texas. The Marshfield, Wis. distribution center score brings its average to more than 98.6% over the past 13 years.

“Our most recent SQF certifications are a perfect demonstration of our dedication to food safety both inside and outside of our facilities,” says Mike Rindy, President of Nelson-Jameson. “We thank everyone at our distribution centers for earning these three perfect scores during our audits and for their ongoing commitment to maintaining such a high standard for safety.”


The SQF program motto is: "Say what you do, do what you say." SQF has a code for each company to follow, and each individual company writes the policies and procedures pertaining to the code. Maintaining these procedures is a continuous process, as documentation must be reviewed, monitored, verified, and validated throughout the year. 

Nelson-Jameson plans to have its newest strategic distribution center in Jerome, Idaho participate in the SQF audit in 2025. 

“As we’ve proven with our 100% scores in the past, safety is a throughline for our entire organization,” says Rindy “We’re equally committed as our customers, suppliers, and partners are to our role in ensuring consumers stay protected.”

The Eagle Certification Group, an independent certification company authorized by the SQF Institute, conducts the audits in adherence to the globally acknowledged industry standards set by SQF.
