Among our customers are some of the most sophisticated and demanding food manufacturers
in the world. We understand their stringent requirements and have invested in a
comprehensive quality assurance program that consistently exceeds every USDA and
customer-driven specification while meeting all regulatory requirements. In fact,
Paramount Farms was the first nut supplier in the United States to receive ISO 9001:
2000 certification, and the only one with an ISO 17025 certified lab.

While most nut suppliers rely on outsourced service labs and testing agencies, Paramount
Farms has invested in the technology, talent and finest resources available to manage
our quality assurance program in-house.
Our Statistical Process Control (SPC) system documents real-time quality metrics.
This allows for immediate in-line adjustments that improve our quality, consistency
and efficiency.
