Same standards as the manufacturers we serve.
We hold ourselves to the same food-safety requirements as the food manufacturers we serve. The protocols on our floor mirror the protocols on theirs — same SQF discipline, same FDA expectations, same HACCP framework, same documentation. Every step adheres to strict food-safety protocols, reducing risk and bolstering brand reliability against the most stringent industry standards.
Food-grade discipline is a quality advantage — even for non-food customers.
When you operate to food-manufacturer standards by default, the entire warehouse runs cleaner. Non-food customers — health and beauty, nutraceuticals, pet, CPG, household, retail prep, eCommerce — inherit the upside: rigorous sanitation, allergen-aware handling, lot and expiry control, recall-readiness, and a workforce trained to the highest bar in the industry. The bar doesn't drop because the SKU isn't food.
The credentials that travel with every facility.
Our quality certifications underscore our dedication to meeting and exceeding regulatory requirements. Clients get the assurance that their products are handled with the utmost care and compliance.
Active SQF certification across food-grade facilities. Sanitation, allergen control, traceability, and audit readiness documented end-to-end.
Food-facility registration on file. FSMA-aligned operations for storage, handling, and transportation of human food.
HACCP principles integrated into every food-grade program — identify, evaluate, control hazards at every step.
Documented GMP for storage, handling, and sanitation. Tied to associate training and floor-level SOPs.
Our Cincinnati facilities are pursuing USDA Organic certification. Segregation, traceability, and documentation already in place.
Food-grade hazmat handling for ingredients, flavorings, and extracts that fall under DOT hazmat classes — with trained handlers required.
Built for the auditor, the manufacturer, and the retailer.
SQF and FDA compliance isn't a label — it's how every food-grade Taylor facility operates day-to-day. Documentation, sanitation, traceability, and audit readiness are wired into the standard playbook, not bolted on for inspections.
The cornerstone of our quality management system.
HACCP principles form the cornerstone of Taylor's quality program. By meticulously identifying, evaluating, and controlling potential hazards in the food supply chain, we mitigate risk and uphold the integrity of every product we handle. A proactive approach — not a reactive one.
Identify
Map every hazard — biological, chemical, physical — across receiving, storage, handling, and outbound.
Evaluate
Score risk and likelihood. Tie each hazard to a Critical Control Point with a measurable threshold.
Control
SOPs, monitoring, and verification routines at every CCP. Documented corrective actions if a threshold drifts.
Verify
Internal audits, mock recalls, and quarterly reviews keep HACCP plans current as products and processes change.
Empowering excellence through training.
Investing in team expertise through comprehensive training is integral to our ethos. We use Intertek Alchemy so associates undergo regular training — annual refreshers, quarterly modules, and monthly updates on industry best practices. Continuous learning keeps our team at the front of quality assurance and operational efficiency.
Full SQF and GMP refresher for every food-grade associate.
Targeted modules on allergens, sanitation, recall, and audit prep.
Best-practice updates from Intertek Alchemy on emerging risks.
Food safety doesn't stop at the dock door.
Our carrier-quality program is a testament to our commitment to excellence in freight. Every carrier moving food freight goes through a rigorous screening and training program — backed by Highway Carrier Identity vetting on every load.
Through this program we ensure seamless and dependable transportation for our clients, bolstering their supply-chain operations. Every food-freight tender flows through Highway Carrier Identity at booking, with insurance, authority, and identity validated in real time.
