Our Hygienic Work Environment at PEI Trade

In the world of global fruit and vegetable trade, hygiene isn’t just a standard—it’s a responsibility. At PEI Trade, we take this responsibility seriously. Our commitment to a hygienic work environment is a cornerstone of how we operate and a key reason why businesses around the world trust us with their import and export needs.

From the farm to the fork, every stage of our process is governed by strict hygiene protocols and internationally recognized standards. We believe that clean, safe working conditions lead to cleaner, safer food—and ultimately to happier customers and healthier communities.

Why Hygiene Matters in Global Trade

When dealing with fresh produce, even minor lapses in cleanliness can result in major consequences. Poor hygiene practices can lead to food contamination, product spoilage, and most critically, consumer health risks. At PEI Trade, we eliminate these risks by implementing rigorous sanitation systems and quality controls at every step.

Our partners and clients know that when they receive a shipment from PEI Trade, they’re receiving more than fruits and vegetables. They’re receiving a promise of purity, handled by trained professionals in an environment that prioritizes cleanliness as much as it does quality.

Farm-Level Sanitation: The Foundation of Clean Produce

Hygiene starts at the root. All our produce is sourced from certified farms that comply with global hygiene standards. We collaborate with growers who:

Use clean irrigation systems free from chemical pollutants
Follow soil management practices that prevent contamination
Train farm workers in food-safe handling techniques
Use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning agents

Farm equipment is sanitized regularly, and protective gear is mandatory for workers during harvest and packaging. This ensures that from the moment the produce is picked, it is treated with the utmost care.

State-of-the-Art Packing Facilities

Once harvested, produce is transported to our modern, hygienic packing facilities, which are strategically located close to farming zones. These facilities are built to meet international standards, with:

Temperature-controlled environments to preserve freshness
Stainless steel workstations for easy sterilization
Pest control systems to prevent contamination
Clearly marked zones to separate clean and non-clean areas

Before entering, all personnel must undergo a sanitation protocol, including the use of protective clothing, gloves, and hand disinfectants. Regular audits ensure continuous compliance with hygiene benchmarks.

Cold Chain Management: Cleanliness in Every Degree

Cold chain logistics play a critical role in keeping our fruits and vegetables fresh, and maintaining hygiene within that system is paramount.

We sanitize our cold storage units between shipments
Airflow systems are routinely checked and filtered
Containers and crates are steam-cleaned before reuse

Whether it’s a truck, container, or warehouse, we make sure that the temperature-controlled environment is also a germ-controlled environment.

Health and Safety Protocols for Our Team

At PEI Trade, our people are our strength. That’s why we ensure that our team works in a safe, hygienic environment. We enforce a robust health and safety policy that includes:

Regular health checks for all staff
Mandatory hygiene training and certifications
Clean rest areas, changing rooms, and cafeteria zones
Scheduled deep cleaning of all facilities

Our workspaces are cleaned and disinfected daily, with high-contact surfaces like door handles and workstations sanitized multiple times a day.

Compliance with Global Standards

To maintain a hygienic environment across our supply chain, we align our practices with globally recognized standards and certifications, including:

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points)
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)
ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management System)
EU & USDA Regulations

These certifications aren’t just badges—they are operational mandates we live by. Our facilities are inspected regularly by third-party auditors to ensure compliance, accountability, and trust.

Clean Logistics: Hygiene in Transportation

Hygiene doesn’t stop at the warehouse. We maintain clean and temperature-monitored transport systems to ensure produce remains uncontaminated during transit.

Trucks are cleaned and sanitized before every load
Drivers wear protective gear when handling produce
Shipments are sealed with hygiene-approved packaging
Transport timelines are tightly controlled to avoid spoilage

We work with logistics partners who share our hygiene-first philosophy, ensuring consistency from farm to final delivery.
